Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup

Serves 6-8
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1⁄2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 large Yukon gold potato, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3⁄4 cup heavy cream (substitute w/almond milk if dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon 100% pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper

Topping Ideas:

  • Chunky sourdough bread
  • Sliced green onion
  • Drizzle of olive oil

Directions:

  1. Place large saucepan over medium-high heat and allow to heat before adding olive oil. Add in onion once oil is hot, about 1 minute.
  2. Sauté onion until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning
  3. Add potatoes and cauliflower and stir well. Add broth and bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes and cauliflower are easily pierced with a fork, about 25-30 minutes.
  4. Once tender, carefully pour the vegetables and all the liquid into a high-speed blender. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in two batches. To avoid a hot explosion, please don’t fill your blender past half full. Blend on low until a puree forms.
  5. [In batches, if necessary] add beans, heavy cream, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to the blender. Starting at the lowest setting, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner soup, add in broth as desired to match your consistency preferences. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  6. Carefully ladle into bowls and add your desired toppings; enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Turnip Ground Beef Hash


Serves 3-4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons avocado oil, divided
  • ½ large onion, diced (~ 3/4 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large (or 4 small) turnips, peeled and diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 cups loosely packed spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
    Directions:
  1. Place large skillet over medium-high heat and allow to heat up for 2-3 minutes before adding 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add in diced onion once oil is hot, about 1 minute.
  2. Sauté onion until translucent, about 4-6 minutes. Add in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add ground beef and season with a dash of salt and pepper plus the cayenne pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into bite-size pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is no longer pink.

Add the turnips and red bell pepper, season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika; stir to combine. Cover and let cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until turnips are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to ensure turnips don’t burn on one side.
  4. Add in chopped spinach and beef mixture and combine well. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spinach to wilt and beef to warm. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir. Remove from heat.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce or salsa. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
