Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 tablespoon, minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
- 0.5 teaspoons, or to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Break the cauliflower into small florets and set aside. Discard any tough stems.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir well to coat with the aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Reheat the soup over low heat if necessary, but do not boil.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
