Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped

• 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped

• 1/4 head cauliflower, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

• 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

• 1 tablespoon red curry paste

• 2 teaspoons sea salt

• Black pepper to taste

• Dash of nutmeg

• Juice of 1/2 lemon

• 4 cups water or vegetable broth

• 1 cup raw cashews

Directions

1. Sauté Vegetables and Spices: In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, and cashews. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Spices: Stir in grated ginger, ground turmeric, red curry paste, sea salt, black pepper, and a dash of nutmeg. Continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Simmer: Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

4. Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

5. Finish and Serve: Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of coconut yogurt if desired.
