Cauliflower and broccoli, balance Kapha and Pitta and are aggravating for Vata. However with correct spicing, cooking method and a dash ghee or oil, cauliflower and broccoli do not cause a Vata aggravation.
INGREDIENTS
For 2-3 servings
- 1 brocoli or cauliflower (choose the most suited to your taste – option to add a potato or a few carrots)
- 3 garlic cloves (as per digestive sensibility)
- 1/2 large onion (as per digestive sensibility)
- salt
- pepper
- lime
- olive oil (or ghee for vata)
- fresh aromatic herbs – t0 taste
- water
METHOD
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius
- Wash the brocoli (or cauliflower)- slice in two if you wish
- Place in a baking tray the brocoli (or cauliflower), garlic cloves and onion (skin on is fine). Add 1 glass of water and drizzle with olive oil.
- Roast until garlic are soft, then remove them.
- With a spoon pour juice/water over the remaining veggies and continue to roast until soft. Add a little water if needed.
- Once the veggies are cooked, remove from the oven, leave to cool for up to 5min then place in blender with a little bit warm water.
- Blend until super smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Maybe a dash more olive oil (or even vegan cream alternative). We want a nice creamy consistency.
- Serve your soup piping hot on a plate, add a squeeze of lime and a few chopped fresh aromatic herbs of your choice
- Your easy vegetable soup is ready to enjoy!
