Ingredients

1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped
1 medium shallot, quartered
3-4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup red lentils
2 cups vegetable broth
2 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (divided)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, shallots, garlic, olive oil, turmeric, cumin, and sea salt. Toss until everything is well coated.
Step 3: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Step 4: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a saucepan. Add the red lentils, vegetable broth, and 2 cups of almond milk. Stir to combine.
Step 5: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the lentils are cooked through.
Step 6: Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of almond milk to reach your desired creaminess.
Step 7: Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra richness, substitute some of the almond milk with coconut milk.
Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of turmeric’s benefits.
Use vegetable broth with low sodium to better control the saltiness.
Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a dollop of yogurt for added texture.

Storage

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of almond milk if it becomes too thick.

FAQs

Can I use other types of milk instead of almond milk?

Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk such as oat, soy, or coconut milk. Dairy milk works as well if you prefer.

Is it necessary to roast the vegetables?

Roasting the cauliflower and shallots brings out a deeper caramelized flavor, but you can skip this step and sauté them instead for a quicker preparation.
