VEGAN CREAMY CAULIFLOWER WILD RICE SOUP | #Fudgeswirledoreobottomcheesecake #Peanutbuttercuppokecake #Smotheredgreenbeans #Strawberryfrenchtoastcasserole #Brunchfoods #Blueberryfrenchtoastcasserole #Broccolisouphealthy #Healthysouprecipes #Broccolicauliflowersoup #Creamofbroccolisouprecipe #Broccolirecipeshealthy #Creamybroccolisoup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice blend
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cauliflower florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large white or yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 stalks celery, trimmed and diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or more to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups filtered water
  • 2/3 cup raw cashews, soaked for two hours (unless using a high-speed blender)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile (about halfway through cooking the rice), bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 7 to 10 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. While the cauliflower boils, heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables just begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute, or until it begins to soften.
  4. Stir in the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, add the boiled cauliflower to a high-speed blender along with the filtered water, cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and sea salt. Blend on high for two minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the cauliflower cream mixture and the cooked rice to the pot of soup and stir to incorporate. Increase the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for just 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and generously season with more sea salt and black pepper to taste. (I usually add another 1 teaspoon of sea salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.)
  8. Serve warm.
  9. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  10. If the soup is thicker than desired after refrigerating and reheating, simply whisk in a bit more vegetable broth or filtered water and adjust seasonings as needed.

  6. Add ½ of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl; mix on low speed until fully combined. Add ½ of the liquid ingredients; mix on low until fully combined. Repeat with remaining dry and liquid ingredients.
  7. Once all ingredients have been added, scrape the sides of the bowl down with a spatula and mix on medium speed until batter is smooth.

Recipes Cookbook - Soft Batch Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies

Soft Batch Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies |#Cookingrecipes #Healthydessertrecipes #Dessertrecipeseasy #Cakedesserts #Cakecookies #Cookierecipes #Dessertrecipes #Pumpkincheesecake #Pumpkindessertrecipes #Thanksgivingdessertideas #Pumpkinbars #Pumkindesserts

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, lightly spray them with non-stick spray, and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine one cup of the chocolate chips and the butter. Heat them in the microwave, on low power, in 15 second increments, mixing in between each, until butter and chocolate are completely melted and can easily be whisked smooth. Whisk in the vanilla, then whisk in both sugars. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in milk.
  4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir to combine - be sure not to over mix here!
  5. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips, stirring until everything is just combined. (You may want to reserve a few chocolate chips to press onto the warm cookies right after they come out of the oven.)
  6. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake one tray at a time, reducing the oven temperature to 300 degrees after you've put them in the oven. Bake for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are dark and shiny.
  8. Press a few extra chocolate chunks on top of the warm cookies, if desired.
  9. Allow cookies to completely cool on the baking sheet before serving.
