Check out my video to learn more about a recipe I recently made - I call this re-engineered soup the ”Triple C” Cauliflower, Cumin and Coconut Soup. There’s so much flavor from the spices and coconut you won’t even miss all the butter and milk!
Hanging out the couch reading inspiring stories and learning new recipes from “Moro East”
“Moro East” picture of the soup – my version looks the same but is a lot lighter without all the butter and milk!

The toasted pignolis add a depth of flavor to die for! Enjoy!
Love it came out awesome>>>>
Thanks Dean! It’s amazing how incredible something can still taste when you leave out the added animal fat and include more spices! If you try the recipe – let me know!
Oh my goodness Vani- this looks delicious and easy!! What would you suggest instead of Pignolis?
I followed your cookie recipe and baked some over the weekend. YUM! thank you..
Glad you liked the cookies! They taste so sinful, right? You could use toasted almonds or cashews or sunflower seeds! Any nut will really do – mmmm toasted pecans or walnuts would be an interesting choice too!
Do you steam the cauliflower in the onion and spice mixture over medium heat?
Thanks for this recipe. My fav soup to make is cauliflower, red beet (tops too), onion & cilantro. Tonight I will try your roasted cumin seeds, and instead of straight stock, I will use 2 cups stock and 2 cups coconut milk. Thanks FB! Good job on your site.
Got any suggestions for my John Dory tomorrow night?
are you using canned coconut milk?
