Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small florets, stems chopped
- Up to 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil or olive oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ cup unoaked white wine
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth or stock
- 1 can (397g) light coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 to 3 teaspoons rice vinegar
- Salt and ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- Thinly sliced chilli pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the cauliflower with coconut oil (up to 3 tablespoons) and spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast until the tips of the cauliflower are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil until shimmering. Add the onion and a dash of salt, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes. Add the curry paste and lemon zest and stir well. Raise the heat to medium-high; add the wine, stirring frequently until most of the wine has evaporated.
- Add all of the roasted cauliflower stems and half of the florets to the pot. Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Continue simmering for 5 to 10 more minutes to meld the flavours, reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Let the soup cool for a few minutes and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
- Stir in 1-teaspoon vinegar and salt and pepper, to taste. Ladle the soup into 4 bowls. Top each with ¼ of the cauliflower florets, a sprinkle of basil and chives and chilli peppers (if using).
