CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cook the garlic and onions in a couple tablespoons of the vegetable stock for 5-6 minutes over medium heat. Stir often.
• Stir in the curry powder and red pepper flakes and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add more broth as needed if the pan starts to dry out.
• Add coconut milk, vegetable stock, sweet potato, sugar, lime and cauliflower.
• Simmer lightly, uncovered, until the sweet potato is cooked through and very soft, approximately 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Carefully transfer the soup to a blender and processor until smooth then pour back into the pot. Alternatively, use an immersion blender right in the pot.
• Stir in the green peas and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve right away topped with fresh cilantro and another spritz of lime juice, if desired.
• Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

SWEET POTATO AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Prep all the vegetables, reserving the 2 cups mini cauliflower florets.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic, onion and carrot over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add the sweet potatoes and the large cauliflower chunks, along with the stock, 3 large pinches of sea salt and the bay leaf.
• Bring to a boil, cover, and lower the heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Discard the bay leaf. Add the chopped thyme and remove the pan from the heat.
• Puree with mixture in a vertical blender until it's smooth.
• Adjust the seasoning and add the reserved cauliflower florets.
• Return to the soup to medium-low heat and cook until the florets are tender, about an additional 10 minutes.
• Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.

• Pour squash mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
• Return pureed soup to pot and season with salt and black pepper.
