Number Of Ingredients 15

oil, as needed
½ large white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
3 cups water
1 large head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
dried oregano, to taste
1 cup asparagus, chopped

parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Set aside.
