Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (about 1.5 lbs) Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup (full-fat) Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed, optional) Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and chop it into florets. Rinse and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and ground turmeric, cooking for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the chopped cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
If desired, add a splash of lime juice for a hint of brightness.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Pair it with crusty bread or naan for a complete meal.
