Spicy Cauliflower Soup
This Spicy Cauliflower Soup is as easy to make as it is delicious. Cauliflower florets are transformed into a creamy, flavorful bowl of soup that is seasoned with a blend of ginger, turmeric, cumin, and a hint of heat from red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 head cauliflower cut in florets
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 in piece ginger diced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a soup pot or dutch oven. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add coconut milk and chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
- When cauliflower is roasted, reserve a few pieces for serving. Transfer remaining cauliflower and lemon juice to the pot and stir.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Serve with reserved cauliflower and cilantro.
Notes
- Note: Alternatively, you can use a blender to blend the soup in batches.
