Cauliflower Soup with Toasted Pine Nuts

Cauliflower Soup with Toasted Pine Nuts

Silky cauliflower soup gets a creamy, tangy flavor boost from plain yogurt which pairs perfectly with dried mint and toasted pine nuts.

Brisk Fall days practically beg for a satisfying bowl of warm soup. As a proud member of Stonyfield Organic’s Clean Plate Club, I decided to create a recipe using local, seasonal produce that incorporates one of my favorite foods: plain yogurt.


It can be tempting to celebrate the season with heavy comfort foods but wouldn’t it be great to ring in the new year already feeling good about ourselves? Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and place for hot, fresh cider donuts but don’t forget to fill the body with good things, too!


Speaking of good things, cauliflower might not be bright red or leafy green but it is LOADED in health benefits:


  • Full of B vitamins including riboflavin, niacin and thiamine.
  • A natural source of dietary fiber, cauliflower helps promote digestive health while also keeping you fuller, longer.
  • Pregnant? Cauliflower is a great source of folate which helps prevent birth defects.
  • Antioxidant-rich cauliflower has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke.
  • An excellent source of Vitamin C, loading up on cauliflower is a great way to strengthen the body’s immune function – just in time for cold and flu season!

Even better? Cauliflower is affordable, versatile, readily available and absolutely delicious.


Your fork is waiting.
