Golden Curcuma & Cauliflower Soup with Cashews

Eat those colours

Feeling a little cold and tired lately? A hot soup can do the trick! Soups warm our bodies, our hearts, our minds, restore strength and help us recover from a long day out. Personally, I really enjoy eating soups because they bring me ultimate comfort. There’s nothing better than a hot, steaming bowl of soup made with spicy broth, colourful vegetables, yummy herbs and a generous pinch of love. This golden turmeric and cauliflower soup is heavenly creamy, rich in diverse flavours and crunchy thanks to the topped cashews. But before you scroll down to the recipe, be aware the photos that will now follow are going to make you buy a head of cauliflower today! Are you ready? Go get your shoes and shopping bag!

Servings: 2-3

Total time: 40 min

For the soup

Ingredients

½ cauliflower

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp on ginger, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

800ml vegetable broth

1 can coconut milk

1 tsp turmeric 

salt and pepper to taste 

toppings

handful roasted cashews 

3 tsp coconut cream

fresh parsley or coriander, whatever you’re into!

Instructions

1. Roughly chop the cauliflower. In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil and fry the onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric. Add a dash of broth to prevent burning, then add the cauliflower and stir. After 3-4 minutes, add the vegetable broth and cover with a lid to allow simmering for 30 minutes. 

2. In the meantime, roast some cashews in a frying pan until they turn crunchy and golden-brown.

3. Once the cauliflower has softened and everything is nice and bubbly, remove the pot from the heat and use a magic stick to blend all ingredients until the consistency turns thick and creamy. Add the coconut milk and return to the stove.

4. Season with salt and pepper, serve in a bowl, top with coconut cream, fresh parsley or coriander (I’ve tried it with both and love them equally (as opposed to my sister who despises coriander)) and lastly add some delicious cashew nuts! 

5. Hold your bowl of golden soup in your hands, aware of the fact that you took your time to nourish your heart, your mind and your soul. Be sure that I am proud of you, my fellow foodie, and I hope you are too!
