Blended cashews do something magical to a simple cauliflower soup, lending it a richness you would swear came from cream. A gentle hit of curry powder and turmeric keeps it interesting without overwhelming the sweet, roasted cauliflower. It is smooth, golden and completely dairy-free.

Method
Serves 4 · about 45 minutes from start to finish.
Soak the cashews in just-boiled water for 15 minutes while you start the soup.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan and soften the onion for 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic, curry powder and turmeric and cook for 1 minute.
Add the cauliflower florets and stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 18-20 minutes until the cauliflower is completely tender.
Drain the cashews and add them to the pan.
Blend everything until silky smooth, adding a little hot water if it is too thick.
Season well with salt and pepper and serve with a scatter of toasted cashews on top.

Cook's tip
No high-speed blender? Soak the cashews in boiling water for a full 30 minutes and they will still blend beautifully smooth.
