10-Minute Detox Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, sweet, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped 2 inch pieces – stems included
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs curry powder
- 3 Tbs miso paste, yellow (chickpea miso)
- 2 cups butternut squash, cubed (frozen, defrosted)
- 1/2 cup cashews, raw
- 8 cups water
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Directions
Prep
- Chop onion, garlic & cauliflower
Make
- In a large soup pot, sauté onion and garlic gently in olive oil until softened and fragrant
- Add curry powder and miso paste and stir to coat onions
- Add cauliflower, squash, cashews and water
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is soft – about 15-20 minutes, adding water if necessary to keep cauliflower covered
- Remove from heat and let stand until cool enough to purée
- Purée soup in batches in blender – be sure cover of blender is on tight as steam from soup could pop lid (we like to cover with a towel just to be sure!)
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Ladle soup into bowls and drizzle with olive oil if desired just before serving
Notes:
- chickpea or rice miso will work well too
- frozen butternut squash works well
- add more or less water dependent on the size of the cauliflower
- use leftover roasted vegetables in place of raw
