Simple Cauliflower Soup

Simple Cauliflower Soup

Serves 8.
PREP TIME: 10 MIN - COOK TIME: 15 MIN



Ingredients :)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons yellow curry paste, or more to taste
3 small new potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large head of cauliflower florets (~1 1/2 lb)
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
, plus more to taste
1/2 - 1 cup cashew milk or coconut milk
1 lime

to serve: croutons, or  toasted pine nuts, fried shallots, hemp seeds, and more of the yellow curry paste whisked with a bit of shallot oil

Method:)

• Pour the olive oil into a large pot over medium-high heat. 
• When hot, stir in the onion, and garlic. 
• Sauté for a couple minutes, just long enough for things to soften up. 
• Stir in the curry paste, potatoes, cauliflower, and salt, and allow to cook for another 5 minutes or so. 
• Add 4 1/2 cups of water, and bring just to a boil. 
• Dial back the heat and simmer just long enough for the cauliflower and potatoes to get tender throughout, another 5-10 minutes. 
• Immediately remove the soup from heat, and transfer to a high-speed blender (in batches, if necessary). 
• Alternately, you can use a hand blender directly in the pot. Stir in the cashew milk. 
• And here's the make or break step - add more salt if needed, and a good amount of fresh lime juice. 
• Adjust until the seasoning is balanced and just right. It should taste bright and sharp, and delicious. 
• Serve sprinkled with any/all of the suggested toppings.
