☁️ WEEK 3: CREAMY CAULIFLOWER & WHITE BEAN SOUP ☁️
This is the healthy, high-fiber soup that thinks it’s heavy potato soup! We used a secret weapon to create that luscious, velvety texture...
🤫 The Creamy Secret? Blended cauliflower and white beans!
* Low-Carb Swap: Cauliflower replaces heavy starches like potato, making it lower on the glycemic index.
* Fiber Boost: White beans provide crucial fiber and magnesium for energy and gut health.
Dairy-Free Indulgence: Enjoy a rich texture without the saturated fat of heavy cream.
Ingredients:
1 large Cauliflower, chopped into florets
15oz Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium Yellow Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
5 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and dried thyme and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Build Soup: Add the cauliflower florets, the drained and rinsed white beans, and the vegetable broth to the pot.
3. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is completely tender.
4. Blend for Creaminess: Turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is completely smooth and creamy. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender (you may need to do this in batches).
5. Finish: Return the blended soup to the pot (if necessary). Add salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a splash more broth or water.
Garnish Idea: Toasted croutons or a sprinkle of paprika and a swirl of olive oil.
