Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into florets
2 teaspoons curry powder
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
Fresh cilantro leaves and chopped salted cashews, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower and curry powder and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is well coated in spice and slightly softened, about 5 minutes more. Add the broth and 2 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • Puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender or, working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth, being careful not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch (keep the lid cracked to allow steam to escape). Rewarm the soup over medium heat and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Ladle into 4 bowls and sprinkle with some cilantro and chopped cashews.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Roasted Cauliflower Soup image

The color of sunflowers, this gently spiced soup comes from Yasmin Khan's "Zaitoun: Recipes From the Palestinian Kitchen," in which Ms. Khan explains that cauliflower is elemental in Palestinian cooking. Here, cauliflower florets and leaves are roasted in the oven with cumin and coriander until browned, the vegetable's deep, nutty flavors coaxed out by the heat. Reserve some roasted florets and leaves for garnish, then simmer the remaining cauliflower mixture with turmeric and potato, which adds creamy texture to this thick, velvety soup. Sprinkle the soup with any remaining cauliflower, crunchy toasted almonds and as much fresh parsley as you'd like.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), stem discarded, florets cut into 2-inch pieces, leaves reserved (if available)
2 medium white onions, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
Sea salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 large potato (about 14 ounces), skin on, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 quart vegetable or chicken stock
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the chopped cauliflower, any cauliflower leaves and the onions on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together, then arrange in an even layer. Roast until the cauliflower is browned and cooked through but still has some bite, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potato and turmeric, add the stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until the potato is soft, about 10 minutes.
  • When the cauliflower is done, reserve about 1 cup cauliflower for the topping (including leaves, if you have them) and add the remaining cauliflower and onions to the soup. Return the soup to a simmer and cook until flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Blitz with an immersion blender until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. When you are ready to serve, ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Top with the reserved roasted cauliflower and a scattering of almonds and parsley.
