Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. coconut butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1.5 tsp. minced garlic
  • 6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 4 loose cups of spinach
  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste *I use low-sodium broth and normally need to add 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper)

Instructions

  • Cut cauliflower into rough florets and chop onion. Heat coconut oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until starting to turn translucent. Add garlic and sauté a minute longer.
  • Add cauliflower and broth and bring to a boil. Turn head down to medium-low and simmer with the lid on for 20 minutes or until cauliflower is soft. Add spinach, parsley, lemon juice, cayenne, and Purée with an immersion blender until smooth (2-3 minutes usually). Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust other seasonings (cayenne and lemon) if desired.
  • Garnish with parsley, a sprinkle of cayenne, olive oil, and/or hot pepper sauce if desired.
