A Very Simple Soup - Cauliflower Soup

Cauliflower soup sounds pretty mundane...and maybe even a little odd, but I promise you, if done correctly, it is a smooth, creamy, and delicious soup that you can dress up or dress down.

The recipe is really simple obviously...
because I made it up:

- 2 heads of cauliflower, chopped
- 2 large white onions, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2-3 cups of chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- salt, to taste

Heat the coconut oil in a large soup pot and saute the onions for 10-12 minutes on medium low heat until they start to turn translucent (I don't like to let them brown otherwise your soup will be brown!). Add the chopped cauliflower and stock and steam/simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 15-20 minutes.  Turn off the heat and add the 2 cloves of garlic and salt. Using an immersion blender/blender/food processor, process until smooth. Adjust salt to taste.

Enjoy plain as it is or add your favorite toppings (very helpful when trying to create a new meal out of the same soup).

I like:

- sliced avocado and sauerkraut
- pesto and cherry tomatoes
- Parmesan cheese (made from raw milk) and red pepper flakes drizzled with toasted walnut oil
- olive tapanade and pine nuts
- thinly sliced beets and a swirl of kefir
- sun dried tomatoes, parsley and Parmasan
