  • 2 Tbs chia seeds
  • 2 cups hemp milk, unsweetened
  • 2 Tbs cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 Tbs hemp seeds

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

  1. Chop onion, garlic & cauliflower

Make

  1. In a large soup pot, sauté onion and garlic gently in olive oil until softened and fragrant
  2. Add curry powder and miso paste and stir to coat onions
  3. Add cauliflower, squash, cashews and water
  4. 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
  5. Remove from heat and let stand until cool enough to purée
  6. 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!)
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 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
