Vegetable turmeric soup FAQ:

What is the cooking time for Vegetable Turmeric Soup?

The total cooking time for Vegetable Turmeric Soup is approximately 30-35 minutes. This includes sautéing the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, simmering after adding the broth for about 15 minutes, and an additional 5 minutes after adding the kale.

How do I know when the cauliflower is done cooking?

The cauliflower is done when it is tender but still holds its shape, which should take about 15 minutes of simmering once it’s added to the soup. You can test doneness by piercing it with a fork; it should go through easily.

Can I store leftovers of this soup, and if so, how?

Yes, you can store leftover Vegetable Turmeric Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. To reheat, gently warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.

What can I use as a substitute for white beans in this recipe?

If you don't have white beans, you can substitute them with other legumes like chickpeas or black beans. Adjust cooking time if necessary, as different beans may have varied textures and cooking times.

What type of pan is best to use for making this soup?

A large pot or Dutch oven is best for making Vegetable Turmeric Soup. This allows enough space for all the ingredients to be added and ensures even cooking.

Tips:

- For added richness, you can sauté the vegetables in coconut oil instead of olive oil.

- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to purée the soup partially or fully.

- Feel free to add other detoxifying vegetables like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrients.

- To save time, use pre-chopped or frozen vegetables.

- Adjust the seasoning to your taste—add more red pepper for extra heat or more ginger for additional zing.
