Allergy-Friendly Comfort Soup 14-Oct-2019

The original recipe specified soy sauce and goat-cheese, so I modified it. This does sound like it would be great comfort soup. All that stuff to clear out the sinuses and fill and warm the belly.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 yams, peeled and cubed
• 1 head cauliflower, cut into large florets
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 1 14 ounce can coconut milk
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce: tamari

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook and stir the cubed yams in the hot oil until fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
3. Add the cauliflower and diced jalapeno pepper to the yams; continue cooking until the cauliflower begins to soften, 10 to 15 minutes more.
4. Combine the coconut milk, water, and cannellini beans in a stockpot over medium-high heat.
5. Stir the basil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, mustard powder, coriander, smoked paprika, ground ginger, cardamom, turmeric, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick into the bean mixture.
