The perfect solution for a cold, wintry night

and it's super healthy AND delicious! Well, {NAME}, it’s been freezing cold here in L.A. — at least, what we consider freezing cold. But I actually love it when winter comes, and the temperatures finally start to drop… Because that means it’s soup season! And if you ask me, there’s nothing like a piping hot bowl of delicious soup on a cold evening. So I thought I’d share one of my all-time favorite soup recipes with you. (In fact, I made it again just last night!) When I was growing up, I loved the canned version of this classic… But my updated, fresh-food healthy version is simply amazing… and deeee-licious! It’s chock-full of healthy and filling ingredients, so it can warm your belly AND help keep it slim. And I think you’re going to love it… So here it is, my Healthy “Cream” of Mushroom Soup Ingredients (serves 8): - 1 large head cauliflower, outer leaves removed, coarsely chopped - 1 tablespoon butter - 2 pounds mushrooms, finely diced - 1 tsp fresh thyme - Zest of one lemon - 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil - 1 onion, diced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 celery ribs, diced - 1½ tsp sea salt - ½ tsp black pepper - ½ tsp onion powder - 1 tsp Dijon mustard - 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Instructions: - In a large soup pot, heat the butter over medium heat. When melted, turn heat to medium-high and add mushrooms. Cook until golden brown and tender, then add thyme and lemon and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until very fragrant.  - Set half the mushrooms aside, leaving the rest in the pan. Add the olive oil, along with the onion, garlic, and celery, and cook until onion and celery are tender.  - Add cauliflower to the pan, along with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and mustard powder. Saute until fragrant, then add vegetable broth. Cook until cauliflower is tender, 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a blender to puree.  - When soup is smooth, add the reserved mushrooms back to the soup, along with the yogurt. Stir to combine and serve. Not only is this soup super delicious… it’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants... Like vitamin C (for a healthy immune system), potassium (for healthy blood pressure), folate (for healthy cells), and choline (for a healthy brain). It’s also very low in calories, so you can fill up without filling out… and it’s a great source of fiber. So, go ahead and try this healthy-and-filling soup… and then let me know how much you liked it! And if you have a favorite wintertime soup or stew recipe, I’d love it if you’d share it with me. Just hit “reply” and send it along. And let me know if it would be okay to share it with the rest of the Nucific family!
