- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 small head cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized florets
- Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- Curried Chickpea Croutons
- Roasted cauliflower for garnishing (optional)
- Coconut milk for garnishing (optional)
Curried Chickpea Croutons:
- 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste or 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari sauce
- Pinch sea salt
Heat olive oil in a large soup
pot over medium heat. When oil
is shimmering, add onion, garlic,
cauliflower, cayenne, if using, and
turmeric. Cook 10 minutes, or
until fragrant.
Add half of the coconut milk
and 1 tsp of salt, bring to a simmer,
and simmer until cauliflower
softens, about 10 minutes.
Transfer soup to a blender and
blend to a creamy consistency.
(I blend in my Vitamix on high
speed for 1 minute.)
Return to the soup pot over
medium heat and gradually add
more coconut milk until you
reach your desired consistency.
Simmer 3 to 5 more minutes.
Add lemon juice and additional
salt and black pepper to
taste and serve garnished
with the basil, chickpea
croutons, roasted cauliflower
and a swirl of coconut
milk, if using.
Curried Chickpea Croutons:
Preheat oven to 400º.
Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper. Drain
and rinse chickpeas and
pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl,
combine chickpeas, curry
paste or curry powder,
olive oil, tamari and salt.
Toss to coat. Spread in an
even layer on prepared
baking sheet and roast
30 minutes, stirring every
10 minutes, until the
chickpeas look toasted.
