Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower, broken or cut into florets
• 1 - 2 sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and sliced in half
• 2 red bell pepper, whole
• 1 - 2 heads garlic, top sliced off
• 3 shallots, peeled (see Recipe Notes)
• 1 tablespoon curry powder (see Recipe Notes)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 15 ounces (1 can) coconut milk
• 2 cups vegetable broth (more as needed)
• fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional) 
• roasted cauliflower, for serving (reserve 1/4 cup after roasting)

Recipe Notes

• Instead of using shallots, you could use one large onion cut into wedges, six large scallion bulbs or any combination.

• I'm not a huge fan of curry so I substituted a spice mix for it. Feel free to use any combination of spices that you like!

• When the vegetables were all nice and brown my sweet potatoes were still a bit firm, so I microwaved them for 2 minutes before blending.

• Instead of using canned vegetable broth, make your own homemade vegetable stock!

• Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave. 

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the cauliflower, bell peppers, garlic heads, sweet potatoes and onions onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the spices and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until everything is roasted and soft.
2. When vegetables are cooked place them in a blender (skin on is fine for the sweet potatoes, press out the garlic cloves and pull the stem out of the peppers and remove the seeds). Save 1/4 of the cauliflower for serving. 
3. Add the can of coconut milk and the vegetable broth. Blend until smooth. Taste to see if more salt and pepper is needed. If soup is too thick, add more vegetable stock.
4. If desired, pour into a saucepot and reheat a bit before serving with fresh parsley and reserved cauliflower.
