GAPS INTRO (Stage 1+) Golden Cauliflower Soup
Let's try a more interesting recipe for stage 1 of intro, which can be oh-so-boooooring!
Ingredients for a massive stockpot's worth: 2 heads chopped cauliflower 1 TBSPN-ish beef tallow (skim the top of your broth) or oil of choice 4 chopped onions handful carrots 8 chopped cloves garlic (if tolerating on stage 1) homemade beef/chicken or veggie broth water as needed 1 teaspoon salt- or salt to taste later teaspoon ground black pepper- or to taste later
Directions
Get your big-ass stockpot up to medium-high heat, then add the oil/fat.
Sautee the onions and carrots about 5 minutes. Add the chopped cauliflower and cook until it gets a bit brown, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic (optional.)
Add the broth and water (if needed) to just cover the veggies and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low/simmer and cook, covered, until the vegetables are very tender, about an hour, but it can go much longer too.
Turn the heat off. Now, use that fucking awesome immersion blender (or transfer to a less awesome blender or food processor) to purée the cauliflower until nice and creamy and smooth.
Add the salt, pepper now, or to taste later.
I like to pour it all into freezer-safe mason jars, let it cool on the counter and then stick in the fridge or freezer for later. I'll grab a couple for work each morning from the fridge, along with my half-pre-cooked meat, and mix it together for a nice beefy soup for breakfast and lunch and snacks too.
When you're out of stage 1, this soup is made even more excellent if you roast all of these veggies first, or just eat all of these roasted and skip the soup part!
