No dairy thickeners needed here, the cauliflower adds that creamy texture, and it detoxifies your body at the same time, isn't that sweet?
Topping this soup with a dollop of raw nut yogurt (with probiotics) makes for a very happy & healthy belly. The tang and nutty profile it brings, completes this soup and notches it up from a 7 to a 10 in my book.
Let's add another 5 notches for the beautifully toasted homemade coconut bread on the side for dipping. What's soup without bread? Lame... that's what.
"Creamy" Cauliflower & Carrot Soup
Servings: 3-4
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp of organic coconut oil
2 Tbsp of organic shallots
1/2 package of organic baby carrots (because they're already peeled :) )
1/2 head of organic cauliflower - chopped & roasted (roasting the cauliflower with coconut oil adds a great nutty, smokey profile to this soup)
2 tsps of lemon zest
1 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of curry
2 cups of homemade chicken (or vegetable) stock
2 cups of water
Himalayan salt & fresh ground pepper
Raw almond & cashew yogurt for topping
Directions:
Heat the coconut oil in a medium/large pot over medium heat. Add the shallots (I used already prepared ones - if you use fresh - let them cook down for a few minutes). Then add the carrots, lemon zest, cumin, & curry and give a quick stir. Pour in the water & stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover & let simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Add your cauliflower & cover - let simmer for another 15-20 minutes, until veggies are nice & tender.
Then dump the soup mixture into a blender/food processor - season with salt & pepper to taste and blend until smooth & creamy.
Serve with a dollop of raw almond cashew yogurt, sprinkle with curry powder, & dip with a toasted slice of coconut bread.
