RECIPE
Ingredients
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1 brown (yellow) onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. grated ginger
2 carrots, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks with leaves, chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 head of cauliflower
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
10 rosa tomatoes
1 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. turmeric powder
3 cups low sodium vegetable broth (1 sachet with 3 cups of water)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp. Ashwagandha
1 tsp. Shatavari
black pepper & sea salt to taste
Toppings
1/2 spiralized zucchini
sun-dried tomatoes
coriander leaves
micro greens
sunflower seeds
black sesame seeds
slices of lime
Method
In a large pot over a medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil and sauté the onion
Just before translucent, add the garlic, ginger, cumin, lemon juice, turmeric, salt, pepper, celery, carrots and bell pepper (sauté for 5 minutes)
Then add in chopped cauliflower head and rosa tomatoes and let it soften a little before adding the broth and turning the heat down to a simmer (add a little water if necessary to prevent it from burning)
Before putting the lid on, add the sun-dried tomatoes, Ashwagandha and Shatavari and give it a good stir. Put the lid on and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until everything is soft
Pour the soup into the blender*/food processor and process until everything is smooth
Transfer to a bowl and add toppings of choice
Notes
*depending on the blender you have, if it can process hot food then you can go ahead and blend it immediately, otherwise let the soup cool before pouring into blender/food processor, and heat up again before serving. Alternatively just use a hand-blender and blend everything in the pot
