Cauliflower & Watercress Soup (Vegan)

December 2, 2013 by Ariel 2 Comments

Vegan_Cauliflower_and_Watercress_soup01

I’ve been asked to post more vegetarian and vegan recipes on twitter….  I wont lie, I sometime find it constraining to create vegan approved recipes but I try to look at it as a challenge.  Now since I love challenges, this is actually pretty fun and this vegan cauliflower & watercress soup is of the deliciousness that I have been able to create up to date 🙂

In this recipe, I used a Lipton onion soup pouch because I find that it’s adding a fun new dimension to the taste but you really don’t have to add it in there 🙂  What really makes this coup special is the grounded fenugreek seeds because they are giving you the impression of chicken broth without any being in there 🙂

Anyways, enough chatting and more tasting! …I hope you’ll enjoy this healthy recipe 🙂

– INGREDIENTS –

3 fresh garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

2 1/2 cups of chopped leak (about one decent sized one – white and light green part only)

1 tablespoon of olive oil

4 cups of cauliflower rice (very finely chopped cauliflower – use a food processor if you have one)

2 1/2 cups of chopped watercress

2 cups of water

1 cup of unsweetened soy milk (I used the brand Silk)

1 Lipton Onion Soup Mix Pouch (optional… but i think it adds something very interesting to the taste)

1/2 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds, reduce in powder

1- In a medium/big size sauce pan, on the stove top on high heat, grill for a few minutes the coarsely chopped garlic and chopped leak with the olive oil.  Keep grilling for 3-4 minutes to let the time for the leak pieces to become softer and liberate their amazing aroma.

2- Add the cauliflower rice and chopped watercress, stir well.

3- Add the liquids, mix well, cover and lower the heat to medium or medium/low if you find that it’s boiling too much.  Keep it cover and stir occasionally for 30 minutes.

    This is delicious, I’ve made it like four times now and experimented with different ingredients. I love the use of cauliflower as a thickener / base for the soup. It works with a bunch of different veggies replacing the watercress. Asparagus is really tasty.
