Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  2. Bake chopped cauliflower and jalapeño on a greased/lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes or until the edges start to char.
  3. While the veggies are roasting, begin to sauté the ham, onion, and ghee in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  4. After 10 minutes or so, remove your veggies from the oven. (and turn your oven off! I’m bad about that!) Your cauliflower and jalapeño should have some good char on them. You can leave them in there a few minutes longer to get even more char. All of those charred little bits adds tons of good flavor! Whatever you like! Be sure to watch them, though. They can burn fast at this temperature!
  5. Slice your jalapeño in half, remove the seeds*, and dice.*The seeds come out SUPER easy after you’ve roasted it. If you prefer to do it before roasting, have at it!
  6. Add the cauliflower and jalapeño to your ham and onions.
  7. Add all of your spices to your soup pot, stir, and sauté it all for a couple minutes. I can still smell that smoky paprika cooking. Seriously, invest in that stuff. It’s so good!
  8. Next, add 2 cups of your broth (set aside 1/2 cup), coconut milk, and bay leaves. Simmer for 15-30 over medium/medium low heat – the longer the better. Soup only gets better as it cooks away on the stove. I’m just impatient and need to eat it as soon as possible!
  9. Taste test! Now is the time to add more salt or pepper!
  10. After simmering for some time (or however long you can wait!), combine the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth and arrowroot powder to create a slurry. Add the mixture to your soup and stir* for a minute. This will begin to thicken everything up. *Make sure to stir from the bottom. Sometimes, the slurry will fall towards the bottom of the pot and thicken everything much faster down there. Then your soup will have gravy-like chunks in it. No good. …well, gravy-like clumps don’t sound all that bad to me. Remember, though, I like my gravy! Anyways, STIR IT GOOD!
  11. There you have it! Scoop yourself a bowl, top with some chopped green onions, and go get cozy! You mood will INSTANTLY improve!
