Cauliflower Kale Avocado Soup

The 3 primary ingredients are all nutritional powerhouses and PCOS-fighters.

DeterminingΒ whether a meal isΒ healthy can be complicated depending who you ask. In this case, however, there isn’t much to debate. TheΒ primary ingredients of this soup (cauliflower, kale and avocado) are all nutritional powerhouses and PCOS-fighters. By pureeing vegetables like cauliflower you can achieve a creamy soup without dairy or flour. In addition, unlike many soups this recipe is very low in sodium. Roasting the cauliflower, garlic and onion first helps achieve a richer flavor (and makes your home smell really good!).

  1. Great healthy idea ! Sometimes it can be difficult getting my kids to eat more vegetables, especially my son. I would definitely try this out , thanks!

  2. I throw pretty much anything in soup, but this combo sounds so good and something that would never have met my kitchen. That is until now! The flavour of roasted cauliflower is so good in soup! Yum πŸ˜€

  3. I love homemade soup for the very reason that there is less sodium. I never thought to purΓ©e cauliflower, so I’m looking forward to trying this. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  4. Wow this is very creative! I didn’t even know that avocado’s go well with cauliflower, never would’ve been able to come up with this one myself! I’m currently in a bit of a soup making phase so I’ll be making this one for sure
