Preparation

1 In two small saucepans, simmer your cauliflower and broccoli (one vegetable in one pan, and likewise with the other). 2 Simmer the cauliflower until very very tender, and the broccoli until just tender (make sure there’s some crunch.) 3 Once the veggies have reached their proper tenderness, drain and transfer all of the cauliflower and half of the broccoli to a blender along with 1/2 cup of water, the Braggs, nooch, seasonings and optional thickener. 4 Blend until completely smooth. 5 Add this to the remaining broccoli flouters, along with the other 1/2 cup water and the cubed tofu. 6 Gently reheat and serve!
