Full of antioxidants and a “True Foods” creation, Dr Andrew Weil gives us his recipe for curried cauliflower soup. He said it includes foods from all five categories on his anti-inflammatory diet.
Dr Andrew Weil’s online recipe was modified as follows:
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup raw cashews (Use blender / Chopper)
- 3/4 cup water or Vegetable broth
- 3 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced sautéed
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces (use submersible blender)
- 1 14-oz can light Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Curry powder
- 1 tsp ground Turmeric
- 1 tsp ground Cumin
- 1 tsp evaporated can sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Unsalted butter to sauté onion
- Sea Salt for flavor
Add when ready to serve
- Chopped carrots
- Chopped Celery
- Chopped Green onion (Scallion Onion)
Direction:
- sauté onion
- Use blender for raw cashews add some coconut milk at this time
- Add cauliflower, coconut milk, blended cashews, spices and salt as needed
- Place all in large pan, cover all with rest of coconut milk, water or vegetable broth
- Bing to a low boil and cook for at least 10 min
- Use submersible blender to mix thoroughly.
Now if you do not have a submersible blender, any blender will do. I would just assume that all households that have the needed kitchen appliances have the submersible blender, or those that are now getting married include on their wish list of items for wedding gifts.. Note the blender used by most will have to be filled with a boiling hot soup (as one needs to bring the cauliflower soup to a boil for 10 min) just to cook the cauliflower.. I used a potato masher prior to using the submersible blender just to break up the cauliflower heads. The taste is great, and one can barley tells there is any spice at all added. I encourage all try as it is very healthy, and it makes a great lunch soup..
