ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH COCONUT AND TURMERIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, or until tender and caramelized.
• Meanwhile in a large soup pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, remaining ¼ teaspoon turmeric, and a pinch of salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until softened and slightly translucent. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly caramelized. Add the Thai chili paste and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in ¾ cup (180 mL) chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any caramelized bits, and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the remaining chicken broth, grated ginger, and the roasted cauliflower to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to heat to a low and simmer the soup for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
• Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix, and puree until smooth - adding additional broth if necessary. Transfer the soup back to the soup pot, place over low heat, and whisk in the coconut milk. Stir in the lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve hot and garnish with cilantro as desired.
