eat clean: cauliflower and kale soup!

we are trying to

“eat clean”

aka

eat healthier

we’ve been at this for about a month now

and i have posted pictures

of some of my food (re)creations

on my

facebook page

but the other day

someone

who is my facebook friend

asked

if i had pinned the recipes

because she wanted to try them

(i say recreate because most are recipes that i modify)

so tonight

it’s a cauliflower and kale soup

inspired by dr. furnham's

{eat to live book}

my husband frowned initially 

honestly i kinda did too....

but

my oh my!!

it is a do again!

so

without further adieu

let's get started

first

 

a 3-4 sliced carrots

a cup of celery

and a head of cauliflower separated into florets

then 

add

2 cups of carrot juice

4 cups of water

some ms. dash’s

(about 2 tablespoons)

and

a dash of nutmeg

simmer until tender

for me this was about 20 minutes

while this mixture is simmering steam

4-5 cups of kale

i steamed mine in the microwave

so easy!

i put a little lemon juice on the shredded kale

covered the bowl with a paper towel

then set the timer for 4 minutes

also check on your little one

 

why hello cutie!

after your ‘soup’ mixture is tender

then 

 

take a cup of raw cashews

raw cashews are hard to find

especially overseas

so i found the ‘healthiest’ alternative

in the commissary

the only ingredients are cashews and salt

put the cashews in a blender

add most of the soup mix

then blend till smooth

once smooth

add the smooth soup

back to the liquid soup

or what’s left

mix together

 

top with kale

mix some more

let cool a little

and voila

it is simply tasty!

and it’s only 175 calories per cup!!!!!!!
