2 tablespoons Earth balance buttery spread whipped
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup water
1 cup green beans snapped into 1 inch pieces
Directions
1. Steam 2 cups of cauliflower florets for 5 minutes, and set aside.
2. Turn stovetop to medium heat. Add celery, carrots, corn, bell pepper, green beans, onion, olive oil and thyme to pot. Cover and saute until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. If needed, add 1/4 cup water to keep vegetables from sticking.
3. While veggies are cooking, drain cauliflower and transfer to blender. Add 1.5 cups cashew milk, great northern beans, Earth Balance buttery spread, 1/4t salt and 1/4t black pepper. Blend until smooth, and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
4. Remove lid from saucepan and stir veggies. Add potatoes, and flour, and cook another 2 minutes.
5. Add "cream" from blender to the saucepan and mix well. Add remaining ingredients, and cook for another 20 minutes--until potatoes are tender.
6. Add salt and pepper as preferred.
7. While soup is cooking, chop parsley, and use it as garnish.
Tips:
Other milks can be used, however cashew milk contains the least amount of calories per cup.
