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.
