My fridge was looking mostly empty tonight, except for some fresh cauliflower and a bag of pre-washed kale leaves. So, my dinner idea was cauliflower soup and some roasted kale chips. The soup turned out to be delicious, super creamy, and sinfully tasting (but on minimal amount of calories). Kale chips make a nice, crunchy addition to this soup. You can either have them on the side or sprinkle some on your soup. Enjoy!
Cauliflower Soup
1 head of cauliflower, separated into florets
Reserve water from steaming cauliflower
Garlic powder (to taste)
Salt and pepper
High speed blender, such as Vitamix
I steamed the cauliflower florets in a steamer for about 6-7 minutes until tender. You can also lightly boil the cauliflower and reserve the water, which will have the same effect. Then I put all of the cauliflower in the Vitamix blender, together with about 3-4 ladels of the 'steam' water. I sprinkled some garlic powder, salt and pepper and gave it a whirl! I blended the soup for about a 30-45 seconds until it was super smooth. If you do not have a high speed blender, you can blend this soup in a normal blender, just add more water!
2-3 bunches of washed Kale, stems removed and leaves cut into thick strips
Garlic powder
Salt to taste (do not use too much)
Olive oil (I used black truffle infused olive oil for the amazing smell).
Preheat oven to 300 F. Toss the kale leaves with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Be careful with using too much salt, its easier to add more later. Spread out the kale in one layer on parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes and voila!
You can sprinkle the Kale Chips on the soup or just enjoy them as a side snack. Enjoy!
