FALL VEGETABLE CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Ingredients [Serves 4]

DIRECTIONS

2 tbsp. coconut oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small head of cauliflower, chopped
1 small celery root, peeled and cubed
2 parsnips, peeled and cubed
6 cups of vegetable broth (or 4 cups broth + 2 cups water) (yeast-free)
4 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
4 tbsp. freshly chopped chives
Cashew Cream (optional, recipe to follow)
Salt (Celtic grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt) & pepper to taste

Melt the coconut oil in a large pan, and once hot, add the onion and garlic with a little sea salt. Once the mixture starts to brown a little (about 7-10 minutes) add the cauliflower, celery root, and parsnips and sauté for 3-5 minutes more.

Add the vegetable broth and lower the heat a little. Let the flavors meld and the vegetables soften – about 25-30 minutes.

Puree mixture or mash it up with a potato masher for a thicker soup. Season to taste with sea salt, pepper, and herbs. When serving, top each bowl of soup with a spoon of cashew cream (optional).

CASHEW CREAM

1/2 cup raw cashews (ideally soaked overnight)
1/2 - 3/4 cup filtered water

DIRECTIONS

Soak cashews overnight, then drain and rinse them. Place in a high-powered blender with enough water to cover a little over the top of the cashews. Puree until smooth. Add more filtered water to create the consistency of heavy cream. You may strain the cream through a mesh strainer to remove any coarse pieces.
