Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup

By NicoleP

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 rubs celery, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 head cauliflower, cored and chopped
• 4 cups water
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the celery and onion and cook until the vegetables have begun to soften, about 5-8 minutes. Add the curry powder, turmeric and flour and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the cauliflower and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes. Carefully transfer to a blender, working in batches, if needed, and puree or blend with an immersion blender. Ladle into bowls and top with scallions and a dollop of Greek yogurt, if desired. Serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.
