Serve this caraway-spiced cauliflower soup with a dollop of homemade apple chutney. The sweet and savory flavor of the chutney is a perfect complement to this soup and also works well with many other dishes.

Ingredients

For the Soup:
1 head cauliflower, cut into pieces
3 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped celery
2 leeks, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dr. Fuhrman's VegiZest or other no-salt seasoning blend, adjusted to taste
2 cups carrot juice
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup hemp seeds
5 cups chopped kale leaves or baby spinach
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon Dr. Fuhrman's Apple Cinnamon Vinegar or apple cider vinegar
For the Chutney:
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1/2 cup Dr. Fuhrman's Apple Cinnamon Vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 bay leaf
1/2 cinnamon stick
2 apples, peeled and diced

Instructions:

Place all the soup ingredients except the cashews, hemp seeds, kale, caraway seeds and vinegar in a pot. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

Meanwhile, steam the kale until tender. If you are using spinach, there is no need to steam it; it will wilt in the hot soup.

In a food processor or high-powered blender, blend two-thirds of the soup liquid and vegetables with the cashews and hemp seeds until smooth and creamy. Return to the pot and stir in the steamed kale or raw spinach, caraway seeds and vinegar.

To make apple chutney, toast the mustard seeds in a hot stainless steel pot. Add the vinegar, water and spices, bring to a boil and add the apples. Remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick and set aside to cool completely.

Serve soup topped with a spoonful of apple chutney.

I couldn't agree more: OUTSTANDING! This recipe reminds me of the Cream of Asparagus (or Mushroom) Soup - expecially in texture and subtle flavor of cauliflower (or Asparagus or Mushroom) backed with cashews. What's different is how bright this soup is. The Apple Cider Vinegar gives this soup a KICK - THANK YOU! This is another keeper!!

p.s. I think the Cilantro in the Cream of Asparagus soup delivers a pop as does fresh Thyme for the Cream of Mushroom soup. I feel like a gourmet chef specializing in herbs/seasonings when I make these recipes.

Very tasty and fairly easy.  I added some Chinese five spice to the soup and more hot crushed red pepper to both soup and chutney.

I just made this. It was so easy. I used scallions instead of leeks. It tasted really good.

Four servings was enough for the three of us to have over two days. We liked it better the second day because the caraway seed became more flavorful. We decided we liked it better without the apple chutney.

I blended the leeks & garlic in a little of the water (per Dr. Fuhrman's recommendation) before adding it to the instant pot. (High pressure for Zero minutes; natural release.) Otherwise, I made the recipe as written. I will be making this again.

My SAD husband LOVED this soup.   He didn't want the vinegared-apple chutney.   I added the kale chopped finely into the final soup instead of blending it in.  I found the soup was too rich for me...
