Creamy Rich Cauliflower & Lentil Soup (Anti-Inflammatory & Alkaline)
Cauliflower & Lentil Soup: Alkaline, Anti-Inflammatory & Delicious!
This is a brand-new soup I whipped up last week to warm and nourish the fam on a ‘cold’ winter’s day here in Brisbane. It went down a treat.
It’s deep, rich, warming and so, so full of goodness.
The combination of the broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower gives plenty of sulforaphane among other powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
The turmeric gives a hit of anti-inflammatory power like no other…
Then there is the healthy fats from the coconut oil, cashews and hemp seeds…the protein and fibre from the lentils…the anti-viral power from the garlic…the all-round green goodness from the spinach…
It’s a delicious and nutrient-dense super soup!
Give it a try this weekend!
Rich Cauliflower & Lentil Soup
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 small head of cauliflower, roughly chopped
1/2 small head of broccoli, roughly chopped
3 cloves of garlic, crushed or finely diced
1 cm of fresh turmeric root, sliced
1/4 head of green cabbage, roughly sliced
1 small brown onion, diced
150ml of dried lentils
2 handfuls of spinach leaves
A handful of cashews
2 tbsp of hemp seeds (optional)
250ml of filtered water
Gluten-free vegetable stock cube / 1tsp of vegetable bouillon powder
Coconut oil
Himalayan salt & black pepper
Optional: coconut cream to garnish
Instructions
- Start by gently sauteeing the onion in a little coconut oil, in a large pan. After 2-3 minutes add the garlic and turmeric and stir for a few seconds to coat it all in oil, and then add the cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and the cashews and hemp seeds.
- After 3-4 minutes, add the water and the stock/bouillon powder, stir and then add the dried lentils and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, return to a simmer and allow to cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After this time has passed and the lentils are cooked and tender, transfer everything to a blender, and add in the spinach leaves (feel free to add more if you like), and blend everything until completely smooth. Season to taste.
- Serve with an optional swirl of coconut cream!
Hi Ross. Made this soup yesterday & it’s just delicious! 😋
So filling.
Do you have a cook book? Do you have a physcial acid and alkaline charts to buy?
Hello. This sounds like a soup I will love. I am trying this method of reaching you because everything else has failed. I answered three emails where you invited me to ask a question and did not get any responses. I reached out to support twice and did not receive a reply. I cannot get on your Facebook group. The one on my computer is under my husband’s name. I am sure this is my technological weakness, rather than yours. Could you help me? I am feeling left out and missing the group experience. Meredith
Just made the soup, easy and delicious!
Thanks Ross – Another healthy soup recipe, not too complicated!
