Creamy Tomato Bisque
with Quinoa & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
What's the secret to making this tomato bisque creamy while still keeping it vegan? The addition of cashews and coconut milk. Due to their uniquely low fiber and high fat and starch content, cashews help provide a richly thick and creamy (but not heavy) base to this soup. Roasted cauliflower is tossed in vegan parmesan for a salty, nutty accent to this dinner.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine cauliflower, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss. Roast until cauliflower is tender and browned in places, 12 to 15 minutes. Add just half the parmesan to roasted cauliflower and toss.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cashews, tomatoes, coconut milk, ¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper to pot with aromatics. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
Carefully pour bisque mixture into blender and purée until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (TIPS: Vent blender by removing plastic center of lid; begin blending on low and finish on high to avoid splashing.)
Make small tear at top of quinoa bag and microwave for 60 seconds. Divide creamy tomato bisque between bowls and top with quinoa and parmesan-roasted cauliflower. Sprinkle with basil and remaining parmesan. Soup’s on! (TIP: You can also combine precooked quinoa and 1 tbsp water in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and steam until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.)
For 4-serving meal, double all ingredients. You may need to cook in batches, in larger cooking vessels, or for longer cook times. Follow visual cues in 2-serving recipe.
