“Souper” Easy and Healthy Start to the New Year

A new year always means big goals. I’m ready to get rid of the quarantine fifteen (or… let’s face it, who’s counting), and it starts with a healthy diet. I’m sharing two soups that are so creamy and delicious you wouldn’t know they are plant-based and extra healthy. These are my go-to’s when I know I need to get in my veggie count or even slip it to the littles if I can’t remember the last time they ate a vegetable.

Cauliflower Soup

This cauliflower soup is so smooth you’d think it’s too good to be cauliflower. Optional but a yummy touch is to add a few bacon crumbles (my personal favorite) or a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Both make it heartier and add a little more texture. 

Cutting onion: the hardest part but so therapeutic
Doesn’t look like much yet. Ready to be blended.
Choose your topping! (optional)
My favorite topping: bacon crumbles

Curry Carrot Soup

The second is Curry Carrot Soup. My toddler loves flavor, so she enjoys this (even though she doesn’t like carrots.) I caught my friend Jessica making this soup in the new year a few years back and knew instantly I needed to add the recipe to my repertoire. It has since become a household favorite.

Prep: gather
Yep, just throw it all in there… it’s THAT easy.
Bon appétit!

What I love most is that these are so easy and quick to prepare. They freeze well, so I make a lot and have some ready for those last-minute dinner moments.

ENJOY!

Mallory can come across a tad soft-spoken, but she quickly warms up, and you’ll learn she’s an open book. She grew up in Pensacola and finally returned four years ago with her husband, Jake (many thanks to the Navy.) They now have two kids ages 3 and 1 (plus an 8-year-old cockapoo pup!) Mallory values connection, deep conversations, and the right to change her mind. She owns her own design business, MALWEST design, where she does visual branding for small businesses as well as designs + illustrates invitations, stationery, home decor, gifts, and more. When she’s not chasing babies, painting, or designing, she can be found boating on the bayou, strolling through East Hill, or dreaming up home improvement projects for the family (mainly for Jake!).
