Cheesy Cauliflower Kale And Quinoa Soup Recipes

QUINOA WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND KALE

Steps:

• 1. Peel and smash 1 garlic clove.
• 2. Bring broth and garlic to a boil. Add quinoa. Reduce heat to med-high, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the quinoa absorbs the broth.
• 3. Slice cauliflower into 1/2 inch thick slabs, then chop into bite-sized pieces. The flat slices will brown and caramelize better than florets. Slice remaining garlic. Cut the stems out of the kale leaves and chop into 1 inch squares.
• 4. Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add garlic slices. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add cauliflower cut-sides down. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower browns slightly. Flip the cauliflower, sprinkle with 1 teaspoons salt, and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to med-high if necessary. The cauliflower should be cooked, but still have a crunch to it. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set aside.
• 5. Heat 1 tablespoons in the skillet and add chopped kale. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes, or until the kale turns bright green and starts to wilt. Add the cauliflower back to the skillet and mix.
• 6. Serve the quinoa topped with the cauliflower and kale. Sprinkle with seasame seeds and garnish with garlic scapes, if available.

SIMPLE CHEESY CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and fry until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and cauliflower; bring to a boil.

• Meanwhile, grate Cheddar cheese. Whisk milk and flour together in a bowl.

• Remove from the heat and stir in grated Cheddar until melted and blended together. Season with salt and pepper.
