SERVES: 6-8
PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 32-37 MINUTES
Ingredients for the soup:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 shallots, diced (you can also use a small onion)
- 2 tsp salt
- 4-5 fresh sage leaves
- 1 large head of cauliflower, roughly chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 ½ tbsp Maille Dijon Originale
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 cup almond milk
Crispy sage and croutons:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Fresh sage leaves
- 2 cups bread, cubed (for a lighter option, use gluten-free or sourdough bread)
- Sea Salt
Directions:
1. To make the soup, set a large pot over a medium-heat burner, add olive oil. Heat for a few minutes. Add garlic and shallots. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has turned golden brown and the shallots are translucent, about 12 minutes.
2. Stir in the salt and sage, then add the cauliflower and vegetable broth. Cover with a lid and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. While the soup is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over a medium- low burner. Add the sage and allow it to cook for a few minutes, or until it starts to brown. Gently remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the bread cubes to the skillet, season with a generous pinch of sea salt and cook, stirring every few minutes, until the bread cubes have turned golden brown, about 10 minutes.
4. When the soup has finished cooking, remove the pan from the heat, add the Maille Dijon Originale, turmeric and almond milk, and use a blender to puree the mixture.
5. Salt to taste and serve immediately, topped with a few croutons and crispy sage, or feel free to try alternative toppings, such as pumpkin seeds, toasted nuts, or kale chips.
