Curried Cauliflower Soup

1 tbsp oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp red curry paste
1 19-oz can light coconut milk
5 cups vegetable broth
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 red chili pepper, thinly sliced
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper"

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
To make the roasted cauliflower, arrange the cauliflower on a baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the cauliflower and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake until it softens and begins to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
While the cauliflower is roasting, to make the soup, in a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until they become fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the coconut milk and vegetable broth.
Add the roasted cauliflower to the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Simmer the soup until the carrots are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the vegetables are tender, turn the heat off and purée the soup using an immersion blender.
Serve immediately topped with the green onions, chili peppers, and cilantro.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
