My husband and I often crave pakoras, deep-fried fritters from India. I wanted to get the same flavors but use a healthier cooking technique, so I made soup using all the classic spices and our favorite veggie, cauliflower! —Melody Johnson, DePere, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, diced
4 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 carton (32 ounces) vegetable stock

Directions

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, bring first 14 ingredients to a boil. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
