This soup is a fantastic way to fuel for a run or post-run refuel.

You can make this soup with any color cauliflower; we like using purple because it adds color to an otherwise dreary time of year. This is technically a vegan recipe but can be adapted to suit all tastes.

Special Equipment

High-Speed Blender

1 Medium head of Purple Cauliflower, cut into small florets and stem sliced (about 3 Cups). You can roast leftover florets for a garnish 2-3 medium Parsnips, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 Cups) ½ Medium Onion, cut into chunks (about ¾ Cup) 1 Clove of Garlic 1 Sprig of Rosemary leaves taken off the twiggy part 2-3 Cups Water ½ Cup Cashews 4 Tbsp Miyoko’s Vegan Butter 1-1/2 tsp of Sea Salt 1 tsp Black Pepper ¼ tsp Ground or Grated Nutmeg 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar Water to thin if necessary Thinly sliced Chives
