How to Make Spicy Thai Soup

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2

In a bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, onion, bell peppers, and garlic with the olive oil. Season with turmeric, cumin, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Transfer to a rimmed baking pan. Season with black pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, or until just browned. Let cool.
Step 3

In a blender, combine the cauliflower, onion, bell peppers, garlic, red curry paste, vegetable stock, water, ginger, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend on high until very smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4

Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and light coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 5

Serve hot with a drizzle of hot sauce and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped scallions.
