I was quite surprised at how delicious this Roasted Cauliflower Coconut Soup turned out. There are limited flavors in this recipe.
Cauliflower itself doesn’t have a ton of flavor, but adding the spices, and browning the cauliflower along with the coconut milk, really produces a delicious soup I am sure you are going to love. It is creamy without cream and hearty without an animal protein.
Great source of fiber, potassium, healthy fat, vitamin c and vitamin k.
This soup is nutritious and is whole 30, paleo, gluten free, and vegan friendly.
Eat More Plants.
My New Years Resolution, eat more plants. If there is a common thread on how to be healthy, it is eat more plants.
If you want to live longer, if you want to combat stress, if you want to sleep better, then eat more plants.
Plants don’t just mean vegetables and fruits. Herbs, nuts, seeds and beans are plants.
I just returned from London.
My first time visiting Lovely England.
London was beautiful, the people kind and friendly, the shopping incredible.
I had high tea at Kensington Palace, where I learned the Queen prefers Earl Grey, saw the path that Kate and Phillip walk their kiddos to school.
On a walk through Kensington Gardens we found out that there is a place where escaped parakeets hang out and you can feed them by hand.
I actually drank a lot of tea while in England. However, I dd not eat a lot of veggies. I ate proper fish and chips, some lovely sushi, Indian and some so-so Italian.
When I got home I was all about some crisp veggies.
Why you will love this soup.
This is a simple soup to prepare. Roasting the Cauliflower with some onion, garlic and herbs is the perfect base of flavor to start the soup.
A can of Coconut milk and vegetable broth are the remaining ingredients.
