Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large cauliflower head, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
5. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in batches, and be sure to vent the blender to allow steam to escape.
6. Return the blended soup to the pot if you used a regular blender. Stir in the coconut milk and warm the soup over low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning and spice level to your preference by adding more curry powder or cayenne pepper if needed.
8. Ladle the curried cauliflower soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
9. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Curried Cauliflower Soup!

This soup is both comforting and flavorful, making it a perfect choice for a cozy meal on a chilly day. You can also serve it with a slice of crusty bread or some naan for a complete and satisfying meal.
