Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss the cauliflower florets, onion chunks, and halved garlic cloves onto a baking sheet. Roast them for about 30 minutes, or until they turn golden and tender – this caramelizes their natural sugars, adding incredible depth to the soup. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the vegetable stock, coconut milk, and curry paste. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, letting those aromatic spices infuse the broth. Once the vegetables are beautifully roasted, carefully transfer them into the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it all simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. When the simmering time is up, it’s time to blend. I prefer using an immersion blender directly in the pot for easy cleanup, but you can also work in batches with a countertop blender. Puree until the soup reaches your desired consistency – I like mine silky smooth with a bit of body. Ladle into bowls and serve piping hot. A swirl of coconut cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top makes it extra special.
