In our mostly-raw diet this warm, creamy soup feels like an indulgence. The warming curry spices lend extra flavor to the the hearty, umami mushrooms.
Even when we eat raw we prefer mushrooms cooked since they contain traces of carcinogenic compounds like hydrazine and formaldehyde in raw form. These chemicals disappear with exposure to heat so that we can enjoy the full, anti-cancer affects of mushrooms. A case-controlled study of 1000 Chinese women indicated that a diet rich in mushrooms and green tea could reduce risk of breast cancer.
Pureeing the soup with cauliflower not only gives it a rich, creamy texture but also ensures a serving of cruciferous veggies with all their phytonutrients. If the nutrition of this soup doesn’t sell you, the flavor and ease of preparation certainly will.
