Curried Cauliflower Soup

I love cauliflower. I love it chopped up for snacking, in curry dishes, steamed and to many people’s dismay, pickled and eaten straight from the jar. I’ve been like this since I was a child and I just can’t get enough of the stuff. So, in honor of Chad’s paleo adventure and my love of this often overlooked veggie, I came up with this delicious soup recipe.

Curried Cauliflower Soup
(serves 5-6)

1 head of cauliflower broken into small sections
1 yellow onion diced
3 cloves of garlic roasted
2 tablespoons of olive
1/2 can of light coconut milk
1 container of veggie broth (Trader Joes is my favorite)
2-4 tablespoons of red curry paste depending on your spice tolerance
1 tsp of turmeric
Sauté onions and chopped roasted garlic in a large pot
Add cauliflower and cover with broth – increase heat
Add coconut milk, curry paste and turmeric
Cook until cauliflower is softened
Transfer cauliflower and broth in batches to a blend. Puree
Return puree to the pot and salt if necessary
Serve hot with a cilantro garnish
