IMG_5319.JPG

Here's a soup I made last night from what I had on hand at home.  This is great for fall, it's calming and hearty. Cauliflower is good for the adrenals and thyroid, ginger heals the adrenals too; the garlic and sea veggies are great at detoxifying heavy metals. 

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 inches or more of ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 bulb garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, chopped
6 carrots, chopped
1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
1 quart vegetable broth
1 sheet of kombu seaweed, cut to 1-inch pieces
2 sheets of nori seaweed, cut to 1-inch pieces
tamari to taste
sea salt to taste
1 teaspoon per serving, sesame oil, to garnish
1 teaspoon per serving, sesame seeds, to garnish

DIRECTIONS

  1. Sauté ginger for a few minutes first, then add garlic and onion. Sauté for a few more minutes or until browned.

  2. Add carrots and sauté for five minutes, then add cauliflower and broth.
