01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cauliflower and onion out on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good toss to coat the veggies evenly. Roast them for about 25 minutes, until the cauliflower is nicely browned but still has a bit of bite.

Step 2
While the veggies are roasting, melt some butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the garlic and cook it gently until you can really smell it, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potato and turmeric, then pour in the stock. Turn the heat up to medium and let it simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, around 10 minutes.

Step 3
Set aside a cup of the roasted cauliflower for garnish. Add the rest of the roasted cauliflower and onion to the pot and let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes so the flavors come together. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor to puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 4
In a dry skillet over low heat, toast the almonds until they turn golden and fragrant, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn.

Step 5
