Today’s soup is… Golden Soup.

If you’ve never had Golden Soup before, here is a recipe you can try at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- half an onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into about 5 cups of chunks or florets
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 tablespoon turmeric (If you’re new to turmeric, use about ½ tablespoon. You can always add more after you’ve had a chance to taste your soup.)
- 7–8 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- a squeeze of lemon juice
How To:
- Heat the oil in a deep soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, cauliflower, cashews, and turmeric. Sauté for 10 minutes or until very fragrant.
- Add the water. Start with 4 cups, You’ll add more later. Add salt. Simmer until softened.
- Transfer the soup to a blender. Blend into a creamy consistency. It’s best to do this in batches.
- Return to the soup pot and add any additional water (remaining 4cups) if you need to thin it out.
- Season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add more turmeric if you like.
- Serve with crispy spiced chickpeas, parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil
-Optional: Crispy Spiced Chickpeas: Drain and rinse 2 14-ounce cans chickpeas. Spread them on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400. Sprinkle chickpeas with a dusting of cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, salt, and/or any other spice combo you want. Drizzle with olive oil. Stir right on the pan, then roast for 30-40 minutes or until semi-crispy.
-Helpful Tip: The turmeric may stain your blender. If this happens, leave your blender carafe sitting in a window or other sunny place for a day or two. The UV rays will help lighten and possible eliminate the stain.
