WINTER SOUP.

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 bunches dinosaur kale, cut into 1-inch strips
1 yellow onion, diced (or equivalent amount of red and yellow onions lying around)
1 lemon, thickly sliced
1 jalapeño, minced (use 2 for a spicier version)
1 bunch green onions
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 box vegetable stock (2 lbs)
1 large can (28 oz) pinto beans, drained
1 small can (15 oz) red beans, drained
1 small can (15 oz) chick peas, drained
2 TSP dried ancho pepper powder
2 TSP cumin
1 TSP ground coriander
Olive oil

Dice the green onions. Set the green part of the green onions aside and combine the white part with the yellow onion.

In a large pot on medium heat, sauté the garlic, the yellow onion (mixed with whites of green onions), and half of the minced jalapeño in 1/2 a cup of olive oil with the cumin and most of the ancho powder until the onions are transparent. Add the stock, pintos, red beans, chick peas, coriander, and the rest of the jalapeño. After this has come to a simmer, add the kale, and simmer until kale is tender.

In a skillet on medium-high heat, sauté the cauliflower until slightly tender in some olive oil with what's left of the ancho powder.

Add the cauliflower to the pot. Add the lemon slices to the soup and simmer for at least five minutes.

Remove the lemon slices. Serve garnished with the green part of green onions.
