BROCCOFLOWER, KALE AND CILANTRO SOUP
What is a BROCCOFLOWER? It is a hybrid between a cauliflower and broccoli but really more a cauliflower. It is considered to have a lighter and sweeter taste. Cauliflower is a genetic cross that combines the physical features of cauliflower with the chlorophyll of broccoli. Cauliflower is a member of the cabbage group in the mustard family of plants. It is also good source of vitamin C.

Ingredients:
1 T olive oil
1 diced onion
5 diced carrots
3 diced celery with tops
1 broccoflower
1 bunch kale chopped , 1 lb
1 small bunch cilantro, 1 cup
1 lime
4-5 tomatoes chopped
2 T hot chili pepper sauce (I like Trader Joes)
14 oz organic tri-bean blend, dark red kidney beans, black beans and pinto beans. Rinsed
Cajun Seasoning, I use Penzeys which is known for its spicy Louisiana style flavor. I will list what is included in this mix, you may use some or all of these: sweet paprika, salt, celery, garlic, black pepper, onion, oregano, cayenne red pepper, caraway, dill, turmeric, cumin, basil, bay leaf, mace, cardamom, marjoram, rosemary and thyme. I put a dash of seasoning every time I added a new vegetable to this soup. The deep flavor of vegetables and spice is what makes this soup so special.
