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
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.
Spice it up:
Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
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.
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.
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.
Serve:
Ladle into bowls and top with chickpeas, cilantro, or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm!
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.
