KetoFLEX 12/3 Kitchen: It’s Soup Season!

Winter is the perfect time to dive into the warmth of a nourishing bowl of soup. Whether you like to follow a recipe or get creative with ingredients you already have on hand, soup is a simple one-pot meal that you can easily prepare ahead. This month’s recipes for our PreCODE and ReCODE members include Super Greens Miso Soup, Soul Warming Chili, and Calming Cauliflower Soup (recipe below.)

Calming Cauliflower Soup

Not only is this soup comforting, but it is also deeply nourishing. The stars in this soup are turmeric and cauliflower. Turmeric contains many anti-inflammatory healing benefits, giving the soup its beautiful yellow color, and cauliflower is naturally packed with vitamin C and fiber. Serve this soup as the main course or as a side dish on a chilly night, and enjoy!
