HERE IS MY SUPER DUPER CAULIFLOWER SOUP RECIPE!!! (as requested)
To break: 1 day OJ only (start with 50% OJ, 50% water, work your way up) day 2 OJ, then veggie broth, then you may be ready for some fruit. Day 3 stick with OJ or something light in the morning and move to a good veggie soup to start you off right. Remember, after fasting, your body must rebuild having had little nutrition intake for a while. Eat many fruits & veggies. Gradually ease in meats & grains & dairy later.
And here's my Soup Recipe:

I was asked for this recipe but I'm posting again at the top to make sure it's seen for the benefit of all. :-)
PERFECT CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP
2 Tbs butter
1 Tbs olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
6-8 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced (I like more garlic)
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 medium cauliflower, cored & coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp
Sea Salt
1/2 tsp curry powder (optional)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried savory or marjoram
6 cups water
2 Tbs white miso (if you want to keep the soup white, or you can use vegetable boullion)
nutmeg to garnish
In heavy soup kettle, melt butter. Add oil. Add onion, scallions and garlic. Add
Celery and cauliflower. Add seasonings. Mix well and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for several minutes, stirring frequently. Add water and miso (or veg. boullion, my preference). Bring to boil. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for 15 minutes or until cauliflower is tender. Remove cover and cool slightly. Puree in small increments in blender until smooth and creamy. Reheat if necessary, adding fresh ground nutmeg, if desired.
Personally, although the soup is slightly better, and a delightful consistency after pureed, I personally leave it as a broth soup b/c I like the texture and get tired of eating only cream. The cream version is probably a great first bowl for breaking a fast. I'd recommending saving the soup and pureeing when you want cream or just warming up when you want broth. But like I said, this soup is WONDERFUL! :-) Enjoy your fast, then OJ, then soup!
