Best 6 Cauliflower Red Lentil Ginger Soup Recipes

CAULIFLOWER RED LENTIL & GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium soup pot on medium heat, sauté the onions in oil until translucent.
• Add the ginger, garlic, cumin, red pepper, and turmeric and sauté for 2 minutes; stir constantly to avoid sticking.
• Add the stock, cauliflower, tomatoes, and lentils.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
• Cover with lid and simmer for 1 minutes or until veggies and lentils are cooked.
• Stir in the cilantro and salt, remove from heat, and let sit 5 minutes before serving.

GINGER-CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the lemongrass and half the ginger and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower, potato and garlic, then add the stock. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger with the scallions, cilantro, vinegar, lime zest and juice, honey and the remaining 1/4 cup grapeseed oil. Whisk together and season with salt. Set aside. The relish will marinate and the scallions soften as it sits.
• Remove and discard the lemongrass stalk from the soup. Using an immersion blender (or working in batches in a traditional blender), purée the soup until smooth. Add additional water, if needed, to thin the soup. Season to taste with salt.
• Serve the soup topped with the ginger-scallion relish, and serve with a slice of buttered toast.
