Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 cup raw cashews (soaked 2+ hours or in hot water for 20 mins)

  • 1 (14 oz) can full-fat coconut milk

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Roasted chickpeas

  • Chopped fresh cilantro

  • Drizzle of coconut milk or olive oil

  • Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Sauté the base:
    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 more minute.

  2. Spice it up:
    Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

  3. Add veggies & broth:
    Stir in cauliflower, carrots, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until veggies are very tender.

  4. Blend it smooth:
    Transfer soup to a blender (in batches if needed) with the soaked cashews. Blend until completely smooth. Or use an immersion blender.

  5. Finish it off:
    Return soup to the pot. Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through until warmed.

  6. Serve:
    Ladle into bowls and top with chickpeas, cilantro, or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm!

 


Notes

  • For extra protein, add cooked lentils or quinoa after blending.

  • Leftovers store well for up to 4 days in the fridge and freeze beautifully.

  • If your blender isn’t high-powered, make sure your cashews are fully softened.
