Equipment

  • Dutch oven or stock pot

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and cut into fine slivers
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 5 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken stock
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and cut into rough 1/3-inch dice
  • 1 small cauliflower, broken into florets ( about 3-4 cups)
  • salt to taste
  • ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream optional

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, cook until the onion is just beginning to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne, stirring to allow the spices to warm. Next, add the stock, potatoes and cauliflower and stir everything together. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the soup to simmer, gently, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and add salt as needed.
  • Purée the soup in batches in a blender until velvety smooth. Add in more stock or water if soup is too thick.
    For safety, be sure not to fill the blender jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape.
    Note: Alternatively you can use a food processor or hand held immersion blender. If the soup is not as smooth as you would like, strain through a sieve, pushing down to get all the pulp; discard the solids.
  • Return the soup to the pot and warm over low heat; stir in the cream (if using). Taste adjust seasoning.
  • Serve garnished with a little chopped coriander and a swirl of plain yoghurt or cream if you like.
