These vibrant fresh vegetables are the stars in this Ginger & Turmeric Cauliflower Soup! Not only does the soup get its gorgeous color from the turmeric, but from the yellow cauliflower and carrots as well!
How to make this immune-boosting soup
- Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower florets and chopped carrots and sauté until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the onion and garlic and sauté another 3 minutes. Stir in the turmeric powder, ginger, salt, and pepper.
- Add the vegetable (or chicken) broth and coconut milk to the pot, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and lower to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
- Using either an immersion blender or high-powered blender, blend until smooth and creamy. You can leave some chunks in for texture. Adjust seasonings.
- Add some coarse ground pepper on top for serving.
Sauté the vegetables in a dutch oven until starting to get soft. Then add in the rest of the ingredients.
What is turmeric?
A relative of ginger, this vivid yellow-orange spice is common in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cooking. It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant, known to boost your immune system.
Use a blender or hand-held immersion blender to get this soup nice and creamy.
The coconut milk makes this Ginger and Turmeric Carrot soup so creamy! And, there's no dairy!
TIPS & TRICKS
- If you can't find yellow cauliflower in your grocery store, it's fine to use the white variety.
- To keep this soup vegan, use vegetable broth. Otherwise, chicken broth works just as well in this recipe.
- I used lite coconut milk to keep the calories down, but full-fat coconut milk works as well.
- This soup freezes well for later! You can freeze this for up to 3 months.
