Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the cauliflower, ginger, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Return to the pot.
  4. Stir in the cream and yogurt. Heat over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper.
