Equipment

  • 6-Quart Dutch Oven or Large Soup Pot
  • Blender or Stick Blender

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large pot, saute the onions until soft and translucent. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add curry paste, cauliflower florets, lentils, water, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the soup to a low simmer and then reduce the heat to medium. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower and red lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Take the pot off the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes. Carefully, transfer the mixture to a large blender cup. Only fill it ⅓ of the way full. (Do not blend hot, bubbling, or boiling soup.)
  • Remove the small center feeder cap from the blender lid and secure the lid on top of the cup. Fold a thick dish towel into a square and cover the feeder cap opening to catch any splatters. Hold the towel down with your hand and blend on low in small batches until it's smooth and creamy
  • Transfer the blended soup back into the pot and stir in the coconut milk over medium heat. Add lemon juice and stir it in. Garnish with chives before serving.

Notes

  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or freeze it for 3 months.
