Dehydrated Cauliflower Soup

• 1/8 cup dehydrated onion
• 1/8 cup dehydrated celery
• 2 cups dehydrated cauliflower
  
• 2 slices dehydrated elephant garlic
• 2 cups boiling water (for the dehydrated items)
• 1/8 cup millet, optional—rinse first
• 1/8 cup quinoa, optional—rinse first
• salt* and pepper to taste
• 4 cups of vegetable stock
• 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, and a sprig for garnish!

NOTE: If you wish to make this delicious soup from fresh cauliflower, you can use the entire head of it. Yes, it will just about fill up the whole pan, but it does 'cook down'! Sprinkle on some chopped parsley for a nice garnish-touch!

If you prefer your soup a little thinner, at the end of cooking, you can add half a cup of vegetable stock. But as I mentioned at the top of the page, I just love how thick and creamy this cauliflower soup is!

How to Make Cauliflower Soup
the Easy Way!

1. Use the freshly boiled water to re-hydrate the dehydrated items above.
2. When they are sufficiently plump, put the veggies into a heavy saucepan (with the optional millet and quinoa—RINSE the millet and quinoa first in a fine-sieve in the sink to get rid of the bitter taste).
3. Add the chopped parsley, vegetable stock, and cumin, and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is fully cooked/soft.
4. Use a blender to mix in small batches ... allow air to escape from the little hole in the lid so that the heat doesn't cause any explosive problems! Just have your hand over that top little hole to catch any runaway splashes if you don't have a Vitamix (I highly recommend Vitamix blenders). If you have a Vitamix blender, you can leave the small cap on as it has ventilation holes.
5. Blend until smooth, about 45 - 60 seconds. Serve with an added sprig of parsley for garnish!
