Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Saute until soft and fragrant.
Add sweet potatoes. I like to brown them a little bit with the aromatics to get them nice and flavorful.
Add tomatoes, coconut milk, water, spices, and peanuts. Simmer until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Add peanut butter and kale. Simmer until everything is thick, creamy, and delicious. Top with more peanuts and a little cilantro if you’re obsessed like me.

1 head of cauliflower, chopped into about 5 cups of chunks or florets
1 cup cashews
1 tablespoon turmeric – see notes
7–8 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
a squeeze of lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
Sauté: Heat the oil in a deep soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, cauliflower, cashews, and turmeric. Sauté for 10 minutes or until very fragrant.
Simmer: Add the water (I usually start with 4 cups) and salt. Simmer until softened.
Blend: Transfer the soup to a blender and blend into a creamy consistency. It’s best to do this in batches.
Finish: Return to the soup pot and add any additional water (remaining 2-3 cups) if you need to thin it out. Also a good time to season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Also a good time to top with spiced chickpeas and parsley and olive oil and more salt and put on your most comfy sweater and enjoy!

¼ cup yogurt or sour cream ( or vegan yogurt or sour cream)
Chermoula:
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted
1 cup cilantro
1/2 cup Italian parsley ( or sub more cilantro)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
2 garlic cloves
½ cup olive oil
Zest from 1/2 lemon ( about 1 tsp)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes -or more for spicier
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a heavy bottom pot, saute onion, cumin seeds and smashed garlic in oil, on medium high heat until golden and tender, about 5-6 minutes, stirring often.
Add carrots, chicken stock, salt, white pepper, bay leaves and bring to a vigorous simmer. Cover and simmer on med low heat for 20 minutes or until carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Let cool slightly.
Make the Chermoula: Toast the spices in dry skillet over medium until fragrant and golden. Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined into a paste, but not too smooth. Set aside in a bowl.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender until silky smooth.
Place back in the pot and stir in sour cream and maple syrup. Adjust salt and spice level. (Keeping in mind Chermoula will add a LOT of flavor.) Keep warm on low heat until serving.
Divide among bowls, and add a spoonful of chermoula, swirling it in a circle. Add more yogurt or sour cream if you like.

1 tablespoon fresh thyme ( or oregano or tarragon- or sub 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, or dry Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence )
2 tablespoons white wine, vermouth, sherry cooking wine – all optional (feel free to leave out)
2 cups diced zucchini or yellow summer squash
2 cups chopped green beans
1 ear corn, kernels cut off
4 cups veggie stock or broth, chicken or beef stock, or bone broth
2 cups water
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Garnish:
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley ( or basil ribbons)
1/2 teaspoon of lemon or vinegar ( at the end)
pepper, cayenne, or chili flakes to taste
a drizzle of olive oil, gremolata or grated pecorino cheese
Other soup additions: diced tomato, diced bell peppers, diced potatoes, diced cabbage, diced kale, cooked beans ( like chickpeas, white beans, etc) or cooked grain. If going the tomato route feel free to add a tablespoon of tomato paste for extra “tomatoey” richness.
Instructions
In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until deeply golden and fragrant, 5 minutes.
Add carrots, celery, fennel, garlic and thyme. Saute 7-8 minutes, stirring often. At this point you could splash with white wine, dry vermouth, sherry wine ( all totally optional) just a couple tablespoons and cook it off.
Add zucchini and green beans ( and optional tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, or bell pepper) stock, water, bay leaves and salt. ( You will add the corn later).
Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer until carrots are just tender about 10-12 minutes. Add corn. Cook 3-4 more minutes, then stir in the fresh parsley.
Taste. Often (especially if leaving the tomatoes out) I’ll add a tiny splash of acid- like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, be very conservative, 1/2 teaspoon, and add more to taste. Season with pepper and a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes.
If broth tastes bland, it probably needs salt and acid 😉
Serve with a drizzle of good olive oil, crusty bread, or shaved parmesan or pecorino. Or try it with gremolata ( Italian herb sauce) – a delicious way to finish the soup!

1 small butternut (2.5 pounds -or 4 cupsof cooked butternut)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, olive oil or butter
1 large apple- gala, honey crisp, diced (more for garnish, optional)
2 large shallots (or 1 onion)- diced
5 fat garlic cloves – rough chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger – rough chopped ( or use ginger paste)
1 tablespoon fresh sage, and more for garnish
3 ½ –4 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock (I used 4 cups water with 2 teaspoons veggie bouillon paste)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
fresh grated nutmeg– optional ( about ¼ teaspoon, more to taste, feel free to use ground)
pinch cayenne -optional, but tasty here.
½– 3/4 cup coconut milk (from a can) or use ¼-1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half. For a lighter version, sub almond milkor just leave it out, thinning the soup with more veggie stock if you prefer.
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional- see notes)
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional- see notes)
Optional Garnishes- crispy sage, Pumpkin seed “Brittle”, sumac, warm coconut milk, sautéed diced apple (sauté in coconut oil)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F
Split the butternut in half lengthwise, place open side down, on a greased or parchment-lined, rimmed sheet pan. (See notes) Roast 30-35 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork, through the skin at the top, narrow end.
While the butternut is roasting, chop the onion, apple, garlic, and ginger and herbs.
Heat oil in a large heavy bottom pot or dutch oven, over medium heat.
Add onion and apple and cook 6-7 minutes, stirring until golden and tender, then add garlic and ginger, and cook 4-5 more minutes, add the herbs,turning the heat down to med-low for one more minute. It will smell divine. Turn heat off.
When the butternut is tender, flip them over, let them cool down, enough to handle, then scoop out seeds. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl, you should have 3 3/4 to 4 cups.
Add the apple onion mixture to the same bowl.
Then, blend in batches with the veggie stock until very smooth, using a blender. (If using hot ingredients, be sure to Hold the lid down tight with a kitchen towel– to prevent a blender explosion!) If you prefer a thicker soup, add less water, thinner soup, more water.
Add the blended soup back into the same pot and warm over low heat. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg. Stir in you choice of milk to desired richness.
Taste. If you’d like more sweetness, a teaspoon or two of maple syrup will help. If you need a little acidity, a few drops of AC vinegar, or squeeze of orange juice is nice. Adjust salt.
To serve, divide among bowls, sprinkle with maple-glazed pumpkin seeds, crispy sage leaves, sautéed apple.

Garnish with a little swirl of coconut milk, toasted coconut flakes, nigella seeds, cilantro leaves (or scallions or micro greens).
