Golden Soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • half an onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into about 5 cups of chunks or florets

  • 1 cup cashews

  • 1 tablespoon turmeric – see notes

  • 7–8 cups water

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • a squeeze of lemon juice

    Instructions:

  • Sauté: Heat the oil in a deep soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, cauliflower, cashews, and turmeric. Sauté for 10 minutes or until very fragrant.

  • Simmer: Add the water (I usually start with 4 cups) and salt. Simmer until softened.

  • Blend: Transfer the soup to a blender and blend into a creamy consistency. It’s best to do this in batches.

  • Finish: Return to the soup pot and add any additional water (remaining 2-3 cups) if you need to thin it out. Also a good time to season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Also a good time to top with spiced chickpeas and parsley and olive oil and more salt and put on your most comfy sweater and FALL IN LOVE. ♡
