When you think of food as medicine, you realize that each type of food you put in your mouth is either healing you are harming you.
The sulfur rich compounds in cauliflower help promote better liver detoxification and kale is one of the most nutrient dense foods containing vitamins A, K, and C as well as folate, calcium, iron and magnesium.
This dairy-free soup eats like a meal. For omnivores, you can add sliced roasted chicken if desired.

- 2 teaspoons sea salt or more, to taste
- 8 cups of filtered water

- 4 tablespoons full fat coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
- 1 large bunch of organic curly kale, (works best for this soup) stems removed and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (optional) for garnish
