Preparation

Step 1

In Dutch oven combine cauliflower, coconut milk, broth, curry powder, and the 1/4 cup cilantro
(NOTE: I added 1/2 t. crushed red pepper)

Bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
(NOTE: I added shredded carrot and sliced red pepper)

Stir in frozen vegetable blend (or frozen peas). Cook, uncovered, until heated through. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. (NOTE: I used about 1 t. salt)

Serve soup with pita wedges. Sprinkle with cilantro and crushed red pepper flakes.
