Both Max and I love this creamy and super simple cauliflower soup! What’s your go-to easy winter recipe?

[@kaiju_k5042]

I make two that I really like lately, one is a Creamy Hungarian Mushroom soup and the other a Spiced Tomato Coconut soup :)

Just made your white bean and Kale soup. And for a change I followed the exact recipe with all the same ingredients, instead of just ‘ winging it’ . Its my new go to now, perfect for this snowy evening

[@jonap5740]

Curried red lentil soup. Parsnip and pear soup. Mayo Clinic veggie soup: no oil, good for the tummy and the waist line! (Although I imagine that a tablespoon of oil in the 8 cups it makes would be just fine; they're just sticklers!)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you! So happy that my recipes are helping you eat more plant-based meals!

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

I agree. I'm not against meat but I find it heavy and hard to digest so end up naturally avoiding frequently. I love recipes like this because they are easy to fortify by adding for example several tablespoons of collagen/gelatin to significantly increase it's protein and health benefits while not tasting it or changing the consistency. And most importantly remaining a easy recipe.

[@beatm6948]

Yeah, a lot of recipes bother me because they use oddly specific ingredients 😅

[@coleens.6212]

I made this for dinner last night: it is an amazing soup! I didn't have the fresh herbs on hand, so I used dried Rosemary and dried Thyme instead. I put 3/4 teaspoon of each + a bay leaf. That tasted like a good amount. I think you could go up to 1 teaspoon of each, and it would taste great. Adding the lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and olive oil added greatly to the soup. I would make this soup again. It's easy to make, and I like easier recipes.

I learned recently Cauliflower stems (and leaves) are totally edible and can be easily incorporated soups (and other dishes). At most may have to peel the outer skin if tough. Sharing because I was happy to learn it myself.

2 years later and this is still my favorite healthy soup. so easy, so delicious, so comforting, incredible recipe. I use an immersion blender and don't bother soaking the cashews and it still always comes out amazing. I use a can of coconut milk if im out of cashews, and sometimes sub white beans for chickpeas if I'm out, still comes out great. I even use dried herbs often and still comes out incredible.

You should add the yeast only after it is cooked as it kills the benefits of the yeast at such high temps... Love the old herb preservation tip! Will definitely use this.

[@anniehosking2408]

Spiced squash and broccoli soup: olive oil, onion, garlic, squash, broccoli, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, vegetable stock. Blend smooth when the vegetables are tender. You could make the spicing more complicated but I like the simplicity with these flavours. I do it all by eye and taste, depending on how much of the ingredients I have. I usually garnish with Aleppo pepper.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

You’re too kind! You can definitely thin it out with more vegetable broth or water if you don’t like it as creamy. Another option is to only add one can of beans to the soup and then after blending, you can add in the other can of beans - along with some chopped greens like kale and let that simmer for five minutes. And then you have some different texture!
