10 - 4 cups cauliflower florets

# Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
02 - Stir in turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add cauliflower, carrot, and celery, stirring to coat them with the spices.
03 - Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
04 - Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup for a thicker texture, or keep it chunky.
05 - Stir in the shredded chicken and coconut milk. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding lemon juice if desired.
06 - Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro. Enjoy warm with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad.

# Notes:

01 - Make it vegan by swapping chicken for chickpeas and using vegetable broth.
02 - Boost nutrition by adding kale, spinach, or zucchini.
03 - For extra creaminess, blend more of the soup or stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
