Creamy Curried Cauliflower Green Soup (dairy-free)

This is what I made for dinner last night.  After going to the farmer’s market and getting our produce for the week, I looked at what was in season and made a soup.  Cauliflower, chard, and spinach.  I also bought a beautiful head of romanesco, sometimes called roman cauliflower.  But I guess it’s really considered a broccoli.  Either way, it’s lovely….

Reminds me of a Thai temple….

If you are lucky enough to find some romanesco locally, you can substitute half of the cauliflower florets for this amazing vegetable.

This super tasty, nutrient-dense soup is an excellent way to get more greens into your family.  Regular inclusion of greens in the diet has been found to prevent osteoporosis, iron-deficiency anemia, and vitamin-A deficiency; and believed to protect from cardiovascular diseases and colon and prostate cancers. Loaded with cauliflower, chard , and spinach, each serving provides you with tons of the anto-oxidant vitamin C, vitamin B’s, vitaminK, manganese, copper, iron, calcium, iron, and potassium.

I flavored this soup with a titch of curry.  And a bit of coconut milk at the end makes it a creamy.

Gently sauteing the spices brings out their flavors even more….

Once I’ve made the soup, I lightly puree it with an immersion hand blender.  If you don’t have one, you can puree 2 cups of the soup in a regular blender and then add it back in.
