Cauliflower Curry Soup

Courtesy of
Mandala Wellness Retreat & Spa

Tucked away through the woods on a mountain top in Sautee-Nacoochee, an hour north of Atlanta and just south of Helen, Georgia, you'll find an exquisite sanctuary designed for rest and renewal. Mandala Wellness Retreat and Spa offers a place to escape and unwind along with opportunities to enhance your health and well-being.

Overnight accommodations are offered at Lucille’s Mountain Top Inn, a lovely B & B that adjoins the spa by way of a covered walk.

Lucille serves a gourmet breakfast for overnight guests and Mandala offers simple, healthy lunches and dinners for both over-nighters and Day Spa guests by request. This recipe received a unanimous "thumbs up" from the Retreat's Monday night Vegetarian Supper group.

Ingredients:

1 onion, chopped

2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 lb. fresh cauliflower florets

2 small carrots, chopped

1 potato, peeled and diced

1 cup water

1 cup plain yogurt

14/16 ozs vegetable broth

1 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 teaspoon salt

fresh cilantro for garnish

Spray or coat bottom of medium pot with vegetable oil. Place onion and curry powder in pot and cover. Sweat on low heat for 6-7 minutes, softening onion and releasing curry aroma.

Add cauliflower, potato, carrots, cumin and water and cook on medium heat about 15 minutes.

Transfer pot contents to a blender and puree until very smooth. you may need to add a little more water.

Place yogurt in the pot and slowly whisk in vegetable broth until a smooth emulsion forms.

Slowly whisk in cauliflower/vegetable puree & salt and pepper, blending well.

Heat on low until warm enough to serve - don't boil as yogurt may separate.

Garnish each serving with fresh cilantro.
