Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower (about 3-1/2 pounds), broken into florets
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted and divided
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 to 3 teaspoons harissa chili paste or hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Additional harissa chili paste, optional

Directions

  1. In a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker, combine cauliflower, vegetable stock, 1/2 cup almonds, 1/2 cup cilantro and the next 7 ingredients. Cook, covered, on low until cauliflower is tender, 6-8 hours.
  2. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or cool slightly and puree soup in batches in a blender; return to slow cooker and heat through. Serve with remaining 1/4 cup almonds and 2 Tbsp. cilantro, and additional harissa chili paste if desired.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Harissa chili paste is a blend of different types of chilies, garlic, herbs and spices. Fnd it in jars in the spice section of your supermarket.
  • This soup freezes remarkably well for up to 3 months — perfect to have on hand for quick dinners or lunches.
  • Make sure you don't skip toasting the nuts. It really brings out their flavor so a little can go a long way.
