Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/4 pounds), cut into florets, or about 6 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 onions, sliced 1-inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika or chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup yogurt or labnne (optional; adjust to suit tastes)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450° F. On a baking sheet, toss cauliflower with vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread out and roast until the florets turn brown, about 25 minutes. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crispiest florets for garnish.
  • Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in spices, cauliflower, water, and broth; cover, and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until a desired consistency is reached. Stir in yogurt or labne if using. Season with salt and pepper and serve in bowls, garnishing with the reserved cauliflower florets.
