Ingredients

  • Cauliflower – 2 cups, chopped
  • Butternut squash – 1 medium, peeled and cubed
  • Fresh spinach – 3 cups
  • Coconut milk – 1 can (13.5 oz), full fat
  • Avocado oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh ginger – 1 tablespoon, grated
  • Turmeric powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh garlic – 3 cloves, minced (optional for tolerance)
  • Kale – 2 cups, chopped
  • Fresh lemon juice – 2 tablespoons
  • Sea salt – to taste
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley) – 1/4 cup, chopped
  • Bone broth alternative – 2 cups (vegetable broth compliant with AIP vegan)

Equipment

  • Large saucepan or pot
  • Blender or immersion blender
  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Soup ladle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash and chop the cauliflower, butternut squash, kale, and spinach into bite-sized pieces. Peel and grate the ginger. Mince the garlic if using.
  2. Sauté aromatics. Heat the avocado oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the grated ginger and garlic, cooking gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add vegetables and spices. Toss in the cauliflower, butternut squash, and kale. Sprinkle the turmeric powder evenly over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
  4. Pour in broth and simmer. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add spinach and coconut milk. Stir in the fresh spinach and coconut milk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and flavors to meld.
  6. Blend the soup. Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of water or more broth to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Season and finish. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, sea salt to taste, and chopped fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve warm. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Enjoy immediately or store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Tips & Variations

To boost flavor even more, try roasting the butternut squash and cauliflower before adding them to the soup. This adds a lovely caramelized depth without adding any nightshades or allergens.

  • Swap kale for collard greens or Swiss chard depending on availability and preference.
  • Use homemade vegetable broth to avoid preservatives and ensure AIP compliance.
  • If garlic is not tolerated, replace with a pinch of asafoetida powder for subtle allium flavor.
  • Add a tablespoon of coconut aminos for a slight umami kick, keeping it paleo and vegan.
  • For a heartier meal, add in cooked shredded jackfruit or shredded hearts of palm to mimic pulled meat texture.
