Tomato Soup with Roasted Cauliflower & Cannellini Beans

Tomato Soup with Roasted Cauliflower & Cannellini Beans

A hearty new take on an old classic that’s full of flavor and comes together quickly. Beyond the nutrient-rich tomatoes, cauliflower is also full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, while the beans boost the fiber and provide quality protein. Really good leftover! As the soup warms at the end, make up a grilled cheese with arugula or spinach and Dijon mustard on rustic whole grain bread—a complete meal.

Garlic Scape & Cannellini Bean Spread

Every summer I do prepare one garlic scape recipe that’s both easy and uber nutritious. I serve this spread with whole grain crostini or crackers and use any leftover to help fill a sandwich filling with sliced tomatoes. Certainly, you can use just about any legume in place of the cannellini beans such as edamame, chickpeas etc. You can make this a day or several hours in advance of serving.
