Cauliflower Chowder

  • .25 ounces dried wakame (approximately ¼ cup)
  • 2½ cups hot water
  • 12 ounces cauliflower (3 cups small florets)
  • 2 cups vegetarian “no-chicken” broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large stalk celery, diced
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 1 russet potato, cut in ¾-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup soy curls chopped small
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  1. Put the wakame and water in a medium bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Strain the liquid from the wakame. Reserve the liquid, discard the wakame.*
  3. Place the cauliflower, wakame liquid, and broth in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pot. Add the celery and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the potato, soy curls, puréed cauliflower, bay leaf, cayenne, a generous amount of salt, and few grinds of black pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft. Serve.

*Or you could toss it with some rice vinegar, plus maybe some cucumber and sesame oil, to make a seaweed salad.

When simmering, the cauliflower sometimes clumps up, as in the bottom right photo. Stir vigorously to reincorporate into the soup.
