I had one too many latkes this Chanukah and now I am trying my hardest to get back on track so the hubby and I are doing another round of Whole30 to detox. If you aren't familiar with the Whole30 plan, its basically a detox plan where you pretty much cut out all carbs for 30 days.
Yikes! But we've done it before and we are committed to doing it again.
One of the hardest parts of eating healthy is how much prep it takes- there is no such thing as grabbing a sandwich, making a quick bowl of pasta etc- every meal requires lots of chopping, washing, and planning- so making a big pot of soup at the beginning of the week and having it to help supplement meals is super helpful. My goal with this soup was to make it as flavorful as possible without using stock (my usual go to) which I didn't have around or soup mix (a big no-no)-just plain, old water. To that end, I tried to build flavor by roasting the cauliflower and zucchini first with cloves of garlic, using celery root instead of celery for creaminess and a more mellow and pronounced celery flavor, and lots of dill. The soup turned out better than I could have ever expected! Silky, smooth, with a pronounced cauliflower and dill flavor and undertones of roasted garlic that was just right. This soup was a huge hit and we have been licking our bowls every night- even my two year old devoured it! Best part about it is that it's full of vegetables with absolutely nothing that's bad for you. Success in a bowl! Enjoy!
