Cinnamon Cauliflower Soup

Cinnamon Cauliflower Soup

Try this Cinnamon Cauliflower soup with a dash of Ceylon Cinnamon, cashew nuts and garnished with Pork Belly, Thyme and a sliver of Olive oil. If you are on a Keto diet it can get difficult to create high fat, medium protein and low carb recipes. So we created this lovely creamy Cauliflower soup. We added Cashew nuts for a healthy dose of fat. And we added some Crispy Pork Belly from one of our previous recipes for some added fat. We put in only 1/2 tsp of Ceylon Cinnamon powder which is just right we feel. But you can add a little bit more if you are on a Keto diet to get reduce any stomach bloating common with the Keto diet and digest fat bacteria. We didn't want to make it too thick hence the addition of of water. This is just right we think.

  • Yield :2 servings
  • 2 cups Cauliflower (12oz)
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 2 tbsp. Ghee butter (or normal butter)
  • 1 tsp. crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon powder
  • 3/4 cup half and half milk
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/8 cup raw cashew nuts
  • 3/4 cups water

  1. Wash and chop the cauliflower florets with vegetable chopper. Cut a medium into small pieces.
  2. Add the 2 tbsp. Ghee butter and crushed garlic to pan, melt for one minute on medium heat.
  3. Add chopped onions and sauté until slightly browned. 3 Minutes.
  4. Add Cauliflower, milk, chicken stock, water and Ceylon Cinnamon powder and bring to a boil with lid covered. About 3 minutes.
  5. Turn heat to medium low (dial 2.5 on a 10 notch heat dial) and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. With a hand blender, blend the cauliflower that has now become softer. About 3 minutes of hand blending. You can use a food blender, but this is messy and involved taking it out of the pan. Easier to use a hand blender.
