Soup season

                           

Well today we got a Christmas tree for my parents house and my apartment  and I started to decorate for Christmas. Although it is not that cold out yet… Sadly that 'yet' is there.....this time of year makes me feel like it's soup season. I am typically not a huge soup person but I have been wanting to try Tumeric. I actually got this recipe in an email with things to make with Tumeric.....odd timing. I figured I try and I like it! Hope you do too I did change a few things (mainly added more veggies )  :)

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 large onion chopped 
• 2 carrots chopped
• 4 stalks celery  chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ground Turmeric
• 2 cloves chopped garlic 
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 32-ounce carton vegetable broth
• 3 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper ( I just added by sight )
• 3 cups cauliflower florets, chopped
• 1 15-ounce can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 /2 bag of Trader Joe's organic chopped kale (about a bunch)

Directions:

1. Chop and prepare all veggies and kale. Rise and drain beans.
2. In a large pot over medium-low, warm oil. 
3. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onions begin to brown. Make sure to stir to avoid burning. 
4. Add carrots and celery; cook for 3-5 more minutes, until the vegetables soften.
   
5. Add turmeric, garlic, ginger, and cayenne; stir until the vegetables are coated. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes .
   
6. Add broth, water, salt, and pepper; stir. 
   
7. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Add cauliflower. 
   
8. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, until cauliflower is tender.
9. When the cauliflower is tender, add beans and kale. 
   
10. Cover and cook until the kale is slightly wilted.
11. Enjoy!😋
