A creamy one-pot curried cauliflower soup with carrots, ginger, and red lentils! Subtly spiced, quick and easy to make, it's the ideal meal starter.

Curried Cauliflower Lentil Soup

 2 tsp Avocado Oil (or sub water for oil-free)
 1 medium White or Yellow Onion
 2 medium Carrots, diced
 1 stalk cerely, diced (optional)
 1.50 tsp Minced Fresh Ginger
 23 Garlic cloves, minced
 1 head of Cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces (4 cups as original recipe is written)
 23 tsp Curry Powder
 1 pinch of Cayenne (optional)
 4 Vegetable Broth (or sub chicken broth if not vegan or vegetarian)
 0.50 cup Red Lentils
 0.50 tsp Sea Salt, plus more to taste
 2 tbsp Coconut Cream (or sub 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk as the recipe is written // adjust amount if altering serving size)
1

Heat a large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, onion, carrots, and celery (optional) and sauté for 4-5 minutes — stirring occasionally. Then add ginger and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes more or until fragrant.

2

Add cauliflower, curry powder, cayenne (optional), broth, lentils, and salt. Bring to a low boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until lentils and cauliflower are tender.

3

Add coconut cream and blend with an immersion blender until creamy and no bits remain (if it has trouble blending, you can optionally transfer to a blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth).

4

Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more curry powder for spice, cayenne for heat, or salt for overall flavor. Continue cooking for a few more minutes over medium heat.

5

Serve as is or with garnish of choice (we went with fresh cilantro and an additional swirl of coconut milk). Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month.
