[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup - 16g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 5g Sugar

 

Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup - 16g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 5g Sugar

From: Whole Foods Market
Curry powder and almond milk conspire here with the cauliflower to
produce a full-flavored blended soup that's creamy on the palate
without including any actual cream. The toasted sunflower seeds on
top are a beautiful touch both floating in the bowl and crunching
in the mouth. Ingredients with an asterisk (*) are available in
the Whole Foods Market Family of Brands.
Serves: 4

1/4 cup raw sunflower kernels
3 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk*, divided
3 tsp mild curry powder, divided, more to taste
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
5 cups (about 1 lb) cauliflower florets

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, toss sunflower kernels with 1 teaspoon almond milk
and 1 teaspoon curry powder. Spread out on a small parchment paper-lined
baking sheet and bake, tossing once or twice, until toasted and fragrant,
6 to 8 minutes; set aside.

Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup almond milk in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about
10 minutes. Add cauliflower, remaining 2 teaspoons curry powder and
almond milk, cover and simmer until cauliflower is very tender, about
40 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more curry powder if you
like. Working in batches, carefully puree in a blender until smooth.
Transfer to bowls, garnish with sunflower seeds and serve.
