Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large shallot, diced

  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 c. vegetable broth (I prefer using Better Bouillon for the best flavor result)
  • 1 can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained, divided
  • 1 bag riced cauliflower from Trader Joes (or 4 c. riced cauliflower)
  • 3 Tbsp. sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil and drained

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized pot, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil on medium heat until warmed. Place the shallots, garlic, and thyme inside and saute for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and translucent. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt.
  2. Place 1/2 of the beans and vegetable broth into the pot and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. With an immersion blender (or if you do not have one, use a regular blender), gently blend all of the contents together in the pot until creamy and smooth. It will not be too thick. If you are using a blender, return contents to the pot.
  4. Add grated cauliflower, sun-dried tomatoes, remainder of beans, and capers. Cover with a lid and allow to heat through for a good 5 minutes.
  5. Fold in the spinach to welt.Garnish with toasted pine nuts (optional).
