Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 piece fresh ginger grated or minced, 1 inch
  • 2 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or more if you like spicy
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 ounce
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 pound fresh spinach chopped and stems removed

Instructions
 

  • Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions and cauliflower, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. It is okay to add a little more oil if you think you need it.
  • Add garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper; stir to coat, and cook for another 5 minutes until you start to smell the aroma of the spices cooking.
  • Stir tomatoes in, stir and coat, and then add the vegetable broth into the mixture. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until flavors have blended, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir spinach into mixture until it begins to wilt. Cover and simmer until spinach is completely wilted and cauliflower is tender, another 5 minutes. I prefer not to cook the spinach too much, its up to you how long to finish cooking.
  • Taste for salt and pepper. Serve in a soup cup, or as a vegan entree with lentils and rice or quinoa.
  • I sometimes serve it with quinoa and lentils, and some sprouted whole grain tortillas.
