Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cauliflower sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 7 TBS unsalted butter or coconut oil melted (divided)
  • 2 tsp Redmond Real salt divided
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove finely chopped
  • 1 cup Hearts of Palm chopped
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 5 cups organic veggie or beef broth
  • SEAFOOD SALAD:
  • 2 lbs pre-cooked Langostino I purchased from Trader Joe's
  • Shrimp or Crab would also work
  • 1/2 small shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 TBS macadamia nut oil plus more for drizzling
  • 3 TBS celery leaves chopped and divided
  • 2 TBS tarragon leaves divided

Instructions
 

  • "Corn" Soup: preheat broiler to 400 degrees F. Place cauliflower steaks onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 TBS melted butter or oil and sprinkle with a tsp of salt. Roast for 15-25 minutes, when the cauliflower is dark golden brown on the edges. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Heat 5 TBS oil/butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, drain and rinse the hearts of palm very well. Add Hearts of Palm; season with about 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until Hearts of Palm is softened and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the pieces of Hearts of Palm and set aside.
  • In the stock pan (that you just removed the Hearts of Palm from), add the reserved cauliflower, thyme sprigs and 5 cups broth to pot. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until cauliflower is very soft, about another 8 minutes; discard thyme sprigs. Purée the cauliflower soup mixture in a blender until smooth (I used my Blend Tec blender, which is on sale now! Click HERE to get the deal!) Transfer soup to a large bowl, add the reserved Hearts of Palm, cover, and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Langostino Salad: Whisk shallot, lemon juice, and mustard in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in 2 TBS oil; season dressing with salt and pepper. Add langostino meat, 2 TBS celery leaves, and 1 TBS tarragon; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Divide soup among bowls and top with langostino salad and tarragon and celery leaves. Drizzle with oil and season with coarse sea salt and pepper.
