Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 bunch kale chopped
  • 1 large handful spinach
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 4 –6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger grated
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 6 cups of vegetable broth or water
  • Salt to taste optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the onion, carrots and celery with a small splash of water. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Stir in the turmeric and black pepper with another small splash of water and cook briefly to warm the spices. Heating the spices first helps release their aroma and black pepper helps activate the beneficial compounds in turmeric.
  • Add the garlic and fresh ginger with a small splash of water to prevent sticking and sauté for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the cauliflower and the remaining water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10–12 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the kale and spinach and cook another 3–4 minutes until the greens are wilted. Finish by stirring in the nutritional yeast, then season with salt if desired.
