Sweet Cauliflower Soup Recipes

SWEET CAULIFLOWER POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine coriander, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower to the spices along with 1 tablespoon oil and toss to combine. Transfer the cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet and roast until the edges are browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots and cook until the onions soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
• Stir in diced tomato tomatoes, vegetable broth and sweet potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Stir in coconut milk and the roasted cauliflower. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and consistent.
• Serve warm with roasted chickpeas, if desired.

SWEET POTATO AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Prep all the vegetables, reserving the 2 cups mini cauliflower florets.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic, onion and carrot over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add the sweet potatoes and the large cauliflower chunks, along with the stock, 3 large pinches of sea salt and the bay leaf.
• Bring to a boil, cover, and lower the heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Discard the bay leaf. Add the chopped thyme and remove the pan from the heat.
• Puree with mixture in a vertical blender until it's smooth.
• Adjust the seasoning and add the reserved cauliflower florets.
• Return to the soup to medium-low heat and cook until the florets are tender, about an additional 10 minutes.
• Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
