Sunshine in a Bowl Turmeric Soup
It may be dark and gloomy outside, but it's sunny inside my soup bowl! This gluten-free, dairy-free, crazy healthy orange af soup is the perfect fall pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, chopped
- 1 small white onion
- 1 head orange cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 orange pepper, roughly chopped
- 5 small cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 tbs grapeseed or olive oil
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1.5L bone broth
- 1 tbs turmeric powder or 1/2 inch fresh grated turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 - 2 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 cup red lentils
- sea salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
Add oil, turmeric, paprika, chili flakes, garlic, onion, sweet potato, cauliflower and pepper to a large dutch oven and cook on medium heat until veg begins to brown, stirring frequently. Add the bone broth and simmer on medium low heat for 35 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and carefully blend with an immersion blender while soup is still on the stove. Add lentils and stir frequently for 10 - 15 minutes until lentils are cooked (the addition of coconut milk will make the lentils clump if you're not consistently stirring at this stage, pour yourself a tea, put on some music and focus on that meditative soup stirring for a few minutes). Serve hot, topped with whatever fun ingredients you like - I added miso chili paste, crispy chanterelles and hemp + pumpkin seeds for extra protein
