Something New

Tonight for dinner I made something that everyone will turn their noses up at...Cauliflower soup!

It was made for me in a vegan cooking class and it was amazing! Surprisingly sweet and very satisfying. My father, husband, and 3 year old daughter all LOVED it!! I suggest that you step outside of your box and give it a try, it's amazing! I topped it with some caramelized onions and had a great bread on the side, Seeduction from Whole Foods. It was so sweet and delicious......come on, try something new tonight!!

Creamy Sweet Vegetable Soup

You can make this with any sweet vegetable:

1) Chop up 1 onion and sauté in 2 TBSP olive oil until translucent. Add vegetable (amount depends on how much soup you want to make, I used a whole head of cauliflower) and add enough water to cover the vegetable.

2) Boil and simmer until veggies are tender; you can add seasonings like salt, pepper, ginger, red pepper flakes, etc.

3) Use an immersion blender to cream the soup. Taste and adjust seasonings.

4) Sautéed, caramelized onions taste incredible as a topping/garnish.

Caramelized Onions

1-2 Vidalia onions depending on how much you want to make

1 TBSP olive oil

1 TBSP soy butter

1 tsp honey

Heat oil in skillet. Add onions and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add a pinch of sea salt. Continue to sauté until the onions start to brown slightly. Add the butter. After another 5 minutes add the honey. The onions will really start to brown so watch them.
