Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation (10 minutes): Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and cut the cauliflower into florets.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics (5 minutes): In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
  3. Add Spices (2 minutes): Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, ensuring the aromatics are well coated.
  4. Cook Cauliflower (15 minutes): Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the cauliflower is tender.
  5. Blend and Cream (10 minutes): Once the cauliflower is soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a stand blender in batches and puree until smooth, then return to the pot.
  6. Finish and Serve (5 minutes): Stir in the coconut milk, and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

To elevate this soup, consider roasting the cauliflower before adding it to the pot. Roasting can deepen the flavors and add a slight smoky touch. Additionally, for those who love heat, adding a dash of cayenne pepper can give this soup an extra kick. While the soup is delightful on its own, pairing it with a slice of crusty bread or homemade croutons can make the meal even more satisfying. Lastly, storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge will keep the soup fresh for up to 4 days. When reheating, you may want to add a splash of broth to adjust the consistency.
