Cauliflower Bisque
This Cauliflower Bisque is a variation of the Broccoli Bisque adapted from and inspired by Mary McDougall. Garnish with fresh arugula or serve over whole grains of choice. Broccoli or asparagus can be substituted for the cauliflower, and frozen vegetables can be used, as well. Top with roasted chickpeas to add some crunch.Cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower and broccoli, can potentially prevent DNA damage and metastatic cancer spread, activate defenses against pathogens and pollutants, help to prevent lymphoma, boost your liver detox enzymes, target breast cancer stem cells, and reduce the risk of prostate cancer progression. The component responsible for these benefits is thought to be sulforaphane, which is formed almost exclusively in cruciferous vegetables. See the video Second Strategy to Cooking Broccoli to learn how to get the most nutritional benefit from cooked cruciferous vegetables.
