Creamy Kale Cauliflower Soup
There are always a few items left in the refrigerator that need to be used before I head out for my every two week food shopping spree. This week I found cauliflower, kale, and celery so I googled a "healthy" recipe with those ingredients and discovered a yummy soup. And it even called for the few lone carrots that were hovering at the bottom of my veggie bin. A yummy, healthy, and easy "pause" dish I will continue to serve even after pausing :-)
- 1 onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic-pressed or minced
- 1/2 cup carrots chopped

- 1 cup celery chopped
- 6 cups veggie broth

Add cauliflower + veggie broth. Bring to boil. Cook for 15 minutes.
Add the drained cashews to blender and 1 cup of soup. Blend and add back to soup pot.
