Spiced Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
- Olive Oil - 1 Tbsp
- Green Onion Spring Onion - 10 (chopped)
- Garlic - 4 roughly chopped
- Cauliflower - 1 medium wash and chop florets
- Cumin Powder - ¼ tsp
- Red Chili powder - ¼ tsp adjust per taste
- Coriander powder - ¼ tsp
- Turmeric powder - ¼ tsp
- Salt - ¾ tsp adjust per taste
- Water - 2 Cups
- Coconut Milk - ¼ Cup
Instructions
- First heat the oil in a large pan. Reserve some of the green portion of the spring onion for garnish and add the remaining to the pan. Throw in the garlic as well and saute until the garlic just starts to change color. Add in the cauliflower florets and give a quick mix.
- Now add all the powders (turmeric, red chilli, coriander, cumin) and salt. Add about 2 Cups of water and stir well. Cook covered in medium-low flame until the cauliflower florets are cooked fully for about 30 - 40 mins.
- Turn off the flame and let the cauliflower cool down to room temperature. Once the cauliflower is cool enough, transfer it to a blender/mixie and blend until you get a smooth puree.
- Transfer the cauliflower puree back to the pan along with the coconut milk. Give a quick taste and add salt if needed. Heat the pan in medium flame until the mixture is warm. Turn off the flame immediately.
- Serve hot, optionally with a garnish of spring onion.
Notes | FAQ
- Adjust the quantity of spices and salt based on the size of your cauliflower.
- Since this is a soup, the flavor of the spices should be subtle and not overpowering. Adjust based on your taste preference.
- I used freshly made coconut milk which was not too thick or thin. In case of using coconut milk from the can, adjust the quantity based on the thickness of the coconut milk.
- For added flavor, you can choose to use Vegetable broth instead of water.
- Adjust the quantity of liquid based on your desired thickness for soup.
