In the cooking course I promised the participants that I would teach them delicious white soups without adding flour. Thus, they were to be made with white Vegetable Recipes. They didn’t have cauliflower as a sop in any of the little shops near our home. So I had to improvise, like most of us housewives. Going with the available ingredients is exactly the style of my kitchen. I don’t like to stress if something is missing at home, so I have learnt to cook or make food from what is at home.
We have introduced this “policy” in our classes as well. And that’s how this soup came about. Rather delicious cream. The celery is flavorful enough to be the main hero of the flavors of this dish. We used organic turmeric for the colouring, which, apart from its colour and specific taste, also has a healing effect. Turmeric is great as an antibiotic for inflammation, helps suppress colic and boosts immunity. Cooking occasionally makes it go rancid, so don’t give it a lot, just “on the side” 🙂 Try it for yourself.
Soup is ready in 20 minutes 🙂
1.
Fry the chopped shallots in coconut fat. Add the cleaned celery and quacu cut into approximately equal pieces. Saute with a pinch of salt and cover with water so that the water level is level with the Vegetable Recipes. Add the bay leaf and boil for a moment. We had raw buckwheat from the course, so we stirred it in to make it passable. It’s also a good tip to thicken the soup if you don’t have enough veggies in a healthy, gluten-free way.

TIP: I always try to spice up soups or even other dishes with whatever is also part of the soup. Since this one of ours had some buckwheat from the course, I used sprouted organic seeds and cut up buckwheat sprouts full of rutin. Not that that batch of them took over my blood vessels, but it sure just made them feel better 🙂 Oh, and hemp kernels are already sort of a staple of protein supplementation. Plus a very tasty one.
