Tasteful and super easy to make soup with a samphire topping as the main star. Just cook cauliflower, in vegetable or mushroom stock, together with an onion and some ginger. Puree with an immersion blender. Then add coconut aminos and a bit of sesame oil. Top with the samphire and (black) sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Cauliflower – broken into small florets.
Onion – I used a yelllow onion, but red onion or shallots will do nicely as well. Take two if you have very small onions.
Ginger – one pices, freshly grated.
Broth – You can use Medical Medium broth (link in the recipe) or vegetable broth. Sometimes I like to use jus water with mushroom powder.
Mushroom powder – I usually use a blend with Reishi, Chaga and Lion’s Mane. For Medical Medium especially Chaga is recommended.
Coconut aminos
Sesame oil
Samphire – coastal vegetable with crispy salty taste, just rinse and eat raw.
Sesame seeds – I used black but white are fine as well.
