Today, my mission was to come up with a high fiber anti-cancer soup.
Fiber is essential to a healthy digestive system, helping to ensure that toxins are eliminated from your body. Beans, whole grains and vegetables are great sources of fiber.
I had some cannellini beans that I had cooked with onion, carrot, celery, and a strip of kombu, a sea vegetable that inhibits cancer tumor growth. I also had some cauliflower in my fridge, a cancer fighting cruciferous vegetable, so I searched for a creamy soup and found just the right one, White Bean and Cauliflower Soup with Truffle Oil, from Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby’s Horizons: New Vegan Cuisine. This soup is super easy to make and delicious, especially with a touch of extra virgin olive oil.
