Curried Chicken Soup With Chickpeas And Cauliflower Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crispy chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, turmeric, and salt, and toss to coat the chickpeas. Transfer the chickpeas to a small baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Make the soup: Increase the oven temperature to 450˚F (220˚C).
• Add the cauliflower florets to a medium bowl with the melted coconut oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, then transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet.
• Roast for 25 minutes, until browned and tender.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeño, and cook until the onion begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes more, until the garlic is toasted and fragrant.
• Add the curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve. Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Add the roasted cauliflower to a blender with the broth and puree until smooth.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the crispy chickpeas, scallions, and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a soup pot on medium heat, cook the onions in the oil for a few minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the ginger, curry powder, and salt and sauté for a minute or two, stirring constantly so the spices don't burn. Add the chickpeas and the water, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces (about 4 cups). When the water boils, stir in the cauliflower and tomatoes, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes.
• When the cauliflower is done, remove the pot from the heat. Purée 2 or 3 cups of the soup in a blender and stir it back into the pot. Top each bowl of soup with a large spoonful of chutney and a sprig of cilantro.
