A little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. A little bit of crunch mixed in with a whole lotta creaminess. Yes, my friend, I’m talking about our turmeric cauliflower soup. It’s super creamy, but is in fact both vegan and dairy-free!
I love a reason to bust out my dutch oven, and what better excuse than a big pot of soup! The base of this soup couldn’t be simpler. You’ll start out by sautéing an onion until caramelized. Next you’ll add in the veggie broth and chopped cauliflower and simmer on down. Then you’ll blend it all up with an immersion blender (or a traditional blender if you don’t have one), and stir in the coconut milk.
Add some crumbles of Health Warrior’s Honey Cracked Pepper with Turmeric Pumpkin Seed Bar on top, and you’ll have a perfect combo of textures. I love snacking on these healthy bars in the afternoon, but they also double well as a crunchy topping on soups or smoothies. I chose to level up my toppings (is anyone surprised?) by adding sliced scallion, cilantro, and crushed red pepper flakes.
A final note on Turmeric: If you’re not familiar with turmeric, it’s the spice found in curry blends that lends a yellow hue to your dish. It’s a powerhouse spice, and has been scientifically proven to be an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. If you want to learn more about it’s benefits, check out this article from Healthline.
