Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat or light)
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and the tough core, then cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Peel and chop the yellow onion, then sauté it in the pot until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, stirring gently to coat them in the oil and onion mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if using. Enjoy!
