For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 300 grams of cauliflower florets
• 150 grams finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 200 grams of diced potatoes
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt, or to taste
• 500 ml of vegetable broth (or water)
• 200 ml of coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
• Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Procedure:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
2. Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper, and cook for another minute until the spices become fragrant. Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets, stirring to coat them with the spices.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth (or water), bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
4. Once the vegetables are soft, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
5. Stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
