Asian Inspired Cauliflower Soup

Another experiment - this one I like, still fairly mild cause it would appear I like subtle broth based soups... but still so good.

Ingredients
20-40g dried shitake mushrooms (quickly immerse in hot water, discard first lot of water and chuck in pot)
1 large head cauliflower roughly chopped (I threw the leaves in too)
4-5 medium carrots sliced (don't peel them the skin is good for you!)
5ish cups of chopped celery (leaves would work too)
30g salted black beans
1 lge tbsp ginger paste
1 tbsp chili powder
4L water


Put everything in a large pot on the stove and simmer for an hour. Done!

** could blend after to make a pure type thing, could also add more of the ginger/chili as well as stuff like onion/spring onion/garlic etc.

Nutritional Information
(based upon 1.25kg cauliflower; 325g carrot; 625g celery; 20g mushrooms; 30g blackbean, 1tbsp chili powder + 2 tbsp grated ginger)
