Ingredients You’ll Need (Nothing Fancy, Promise)

• Cauliflower – The star of the show. Roasting it brings out a nutty, cozy flavor.
• Shallot & garlic – Soft, mellow aromatics that build the base.
• Olive oil – Helps everything roast up golden and flavorful.
• Turmeric & cumin – Warm, earthy spices that give this soup its glow.
• Sea salt – Just enough to make everything sing.
• Red lentils – They cook quickly and add body and nourishment.
• Vegetable broth – Keeps the soup light but savory.
• Unsweetened almond milk – For that creamy finish without heaviness.
• Garnishes – Fresh herbs, cracked pepper, lime, or a drizzle of olive oil (highly encouraged).

Nothing complicated. Just wholesome ingredients doing their thing.

How to Make Healing Turmeric Cauliflower Soup (Step-by-Step)

1. Roast the veggies

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Add the chopped cauliflower, shallot, and garlic to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle in turmeric, cumin, and salt, then toss until everything is well coated.

Spread the veggies onto a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be tender and lightly golden—this step adds so much flavor, so don’t rush it.

2. Simmer everything together

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a saucepan. Add the red lentils, vegetable broth, and 2 cups of the almond milk. Stir gently.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. The lentils should be soft and fully cooked.

3. Blend until smooth

Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until creamy and smooth. You can use an immersion blender or carefully transfer it to a high-speed blender.

Stir in the remaining ½ cup almond milk to loosen things up just enough.

4. Serve and garnish

Ladle into bowls and finish with whatever makes you happy—fresh herbs, cracked pepper, a squeeze of lime, or a drizzle of olive oil.

And just like that, you’ve made comfort in liquid form.

Helpful Tips (Because Life Happens)

• If the soup feels too thick, add a splash of broth or almond milk. Thick soup is just extra comfort, though—no judgment here.
• Want more spice? A pinch of cayenne or fresh ginger adds a little kick.
• Don’t skip roasting the cauliflower. That step takes this soup from “good” to “why is this so comforting?”
• This soup tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for leftovers.
