Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch fresh coriander
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and roughly chop the cauliflower into florets. Peel and dice the onion, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ground coriander to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat them with the aromatic mixture. Cook for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a stand blender and blend until creamy.

Step 7

Return the soup to low heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander (reserve a few sprigs for garnish), salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. If using heavy cream, stir it in at this stage for added richness.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with reserved coriander leaves and a drizzle of olive oil or cream if desired. Pair it with crusty bread for a hearty meal.
