Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 medium Yams
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 5 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets and peel and cube the yams into 1-inch pieces.
Toss the cauliflower and yams with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
While the vegetables roast, dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer.
Once the cauliflower and yams are done roasting, add them to the pot. Let everything simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and purée, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and heat the soup gently over low heat. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
