Creamy (vegan) cauliflower soup

I saw this recipe in Vegan For Everybody. It looked pretty good and the ingredients seemed pretty accessible. So I gave it a try. I modified the recipe a little to make it simpler as well as to suit the ingredients I had on hand. The soup was healthy and delicious! A great way for kids to get their share of vegetables!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 head cauliflower, chopped
  • 3 tsp oil
  • 3/4-1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger, chopped
  • 1 tsp kitchen king
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (canned)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • chopped cilantro, for garnishing
Note: The size of the chopped vegetables doesn't really matter because everything will be blended together.

Method:
  1. Heat the oil on medium heat in a dutch oven or big pan.
  2. Add onion and salt; and sauté till onion is translucent.
  3. Add ginger and kitchen king. Sauté for a minute.
  4. Add cauliflower and water. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil.
  5. Simmer till the cauliflower is cooked.
  6. Blend in a blender till smooth.
  7. Add the puree back to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  8. Add coconut milk and lime juice. Mix.
  9. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
