Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into florets Using fresh ingredients will enhance the flavor profile.
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh is best.
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric Or fresh if available.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth Homemade or low-sodium store-bought.
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Garnish (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • A drizzle of olive oil
  • Crusty bread for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent. You'll know it’s ready when it emits a sweet aroma.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and ground turmeric, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn; it should just become golden.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, stirring well to coat them in the onion and spice mixture. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften and absorb the flavors.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender (or transferring to a blender in batches), blend the soup until it reaches your desired level of creaminess.
  6. Return the soup to the pot and season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. If you like it creamier, feel free to stir in a splash of coconut milk at this point.

Notes

This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months. To enhance flavor, consider roasting the cauliflower before adding it to the soup.
