Cauliflower Soup with Quinoa
Ingredients
For the soup
- 9 ounces (250 g) cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 medium (130 g) carrot, diced
- 1 large (170 g) onion, chopped
- 1 cup (130 g) celery root, diced, 4.5 oz
- 1 medium (200 g) potato, diced
- ½ cup (90 g) quinoa, dry
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 1½ tsp Himalayan salt
- 4 cups (960 ml) water
- 1 handful celery leaves, chopped (for sprinkle), or parsley
For the cashew cream
- ¼ cup (35 g) raw cashews
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
Instructions
- Place the chopped veggies, quinoa, and spices in a pot (except the celery leaves), cover with the water and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cashew cream. Put the cashews and water in a blender. Blend for several minutes until smooth.
- Once the soup is ready, remove from the heat. Stir in the cashew cream. Serve sprinkled with some chopped celery leaves or parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a nut-free version, you can use hemp seeds or sunflower seeds instead. Or you could just omit them, but the soup won't be as thick and creamy.
- You can also adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less water according to your preferences.
This looks delicious! Instead of cashews, I usually use white beans (blended) or instant potatoes, just to cut down on the fat.
Thank you so much! That’s a wonderful idea to reduce the fat content. I have tried thickenening soups with mashed potatoes and it works really great.
