Ingredients
- 2 heads cauliflower, cut in large pieces
- 2 heads garlic, cut in half widthwise
- 1 yellow onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- juice of 1 lime
- Kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
For serving:
- drizzle of coconut milk
- red pepper flakes
- fresh chopped cilantro
- naan bread
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place garlic in the center of a small piece of foil. Drizzle cut sides with a teaspoon or so of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the corners of the foil up, creating a sealed pouch around the garlic.
- Arrange cauliflower and onion on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- In a small bowl combine curry powder, cumin, sage, ginger, paprika and a large pinch of salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle spice mixture over the cauliflower and onion.
- Roast veggies for 1 hour or until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Then transfer cauliflower and onion to a high speed blender.
- Squeeze roasted garlic from the skins and into the blender as well. Add the vegetable stock and blend on high for about 3-5 minutes or until it is smooth.
- Pour pureed mixture into a large pot over medium heat. Stir in coconut milk and lime juice.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until warmed through.
- Garnish with coconut milk, red pepper flakes and cilantro. Serve with naan bread.
Notes
Cut your cauliflower into uniform size pieces. Ensuring that they are all the same size means that they will roast evenly in the oven.
Don’t fret over the amount of garlic. 2 heads of garlic might seem like a lot but after it’s been roasted the flavor becomes very mellow. 2 heads will give you enough of that deep, rich garlic flavor without overwhelming the soup.
Feel free to sub heavy cream for the coconut milk if you’d like. On the rare occasion that I don’t have coconut milk, I have subbed heavy cream in this cauliflower soup. I usually start with about 3/4-1 cup of cream and add more as needed.
