Chop up the veggies and start the soup. As it begins to simmer, slice and prepare the Fennel Blood Orange Salad. Set that aside to rest as you finish the soup. When the soup is in the final simmer, gently sauté up the Parmesan Pine Nuts or if you are keeping this a vegan meal, just toast the nuts without the cheese. Serve them on the side for your guests to sprinkle on the soup or salad as the desire.
Cauliflower makes the base, pureed into creamy loveliness accented with broccoli. Almost cream of broccoli soup, but without the heavy cream. This base soup will shine with your favorite cheese stirred in as well. Or if you want to keep it vegan, nutritional yeast and a few pine nuts work great too.
A Sicilian favorite tosses together these two ingredients for a simple, elegant salad. But, if you insist on lettuce, go for it. Just plop these sweet, floral, licorice-y flavors on top. You may even consider something bitter as the leafy green, such as arugula to balance the sweetness.
Sprinkle on salads, side dishes or casseroles for extra crunch, a touch of protein and a ton of flavor.
