Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger (or paste)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried mint
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- To finish: lemon wedges and a light olive-oil drizzle
Instructions:
- Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots; cook 4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add turmeric, paprika, dried mint, a pinch of salt, and pepper; stir to coat.
- Add cauliflower and broth. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook 7–10 minutes, until the florets are fork-tender.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer about 80% of the cauliflower to a blender with a ladle of broth. Blend until just smooth (or use an immersion blender right in the pot for a partly silky texture).
- Return the puree to the pot. Stir in the shredded chicken; warm through 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and finish with a squeeze of lemon and a small drizzle of olive oil.
Simple swaps and tips:
- Prefer meatless? Stir in a can of rinsed chickpeas instead of chicken.
- Extra creamy: blend more of the cauliflower.
- Add greens (spinach or chopped kale) during the last 2 minutes.
- Leftovers keep 3–4 days refrigerated; freeze up to 3 months.
