Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Set them aside.
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil (or butter) over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the pot and stir them with the onions and garlic.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric and cumin (if using), and stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.
- Pour in the vegetable broth (or chicken broth) and bring it to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Blend the Soup:
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth. (Be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splattering.)
- If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add the almond milk (or regular milk) to thin it out to your desired consistency.
