easy tasty soup. i was feeling a bit sick and i think this did me right. the secret brown rice in it makes it more filling that you’d expect.

oil

1 head cauliflower, chopped however

1 red onion, diced

4 tbsp grated ginger

6 cloves garlic, pressed

2 tsp coriander seeds

3 heaping tbsp curry powder

1 tsp red curry paste

1 heaping tsp chili paste

1 tsp tumeric

6 cups broth

1 cup water

1/4 c long grain brown rice

1 can coconut milk

1 lime, zested and juiced

1/4 c nutritional yeast (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

a big handful of cilantro, chopped,

a big handful of baby spinach, chopped

In a nice big pot sautee your onion until it’s nicely browned, then throw in the cauliflower and stir around and cook for a couple minutes. Add all your spices, half the garlic and half the ginger and cook until fragrant. Add your hot broth and water and bring to a boil. Add brown rice, cover and cook at a good simmer. Once the rice has softened up, add the remaining ginger and garlic and the coconut milk. Add lime zest and a good squeeze of juice (i add quite a lot, but you can do this to your taste).

Take off the heat and either cool and puree in batches in a blender or use an immersion blender. Return to pot and season, heat a bit if it cooled while blending. Serve with cilantro and spinach on top.
