Ingredients
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon avocado oil
2 pounds cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced fine
4 scallions, thinly sliced (greens and whites divided)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
ยฝ teaspoon cumin
โ teaspoon cayenne (optional)
Pinch of paprika
3 carrots, finely diced
1 14.5-ounce can coconut milk
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
ยฝ cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon lime juice
Small handful of cilantro leaves, thinly sliced
Instructions
1-Heat 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook until it begins to turn golden in spots, which takes about 4 minutes.
2-Lower the heat to medium and add a splash more oil if the pan is dry. Then, add the ginger, garlic, and scallions, and cook for 30 seconds.
3-Stir in the turmeric, salt, cumin, cayenne, and paprika, and toast for 30 seconds until fragrant, letting the spices release their full aroma.
4-Add the carrots, coconut milk, and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
5-Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender and everything blends together nicely.
6-Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a heavy skillet with ยฝ teaspoon oil until golden but not burnt, about 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from heat.
7-Stir the lime juice into the soup and season to taste, adding more lime or salt if needed for the perfect balance.
8-Divide the soup into bowls and top with the remaining green scallions, toasted pine nuts, and cilantro for a fresh finish.
