Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 13.5 oz. Can coconut milk (regular, unsweetened)
- 8 oz. cauliflower florets (about 3 cups)
- 6 oz. gold potato (1 medium)

- 1 1/3 Tbsp. curry powder (1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp.)

For serving (optional):
- Fresh cilantro, cooked rice, naan, pita bread
Instructions
- Dice onion and carrots. Mince garlic and grate ginger, then set aside.
- In a large pot, sauté onion and carrot for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, dice potato and cut cauliflower into small florets.
- When onion is translucent, add garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Stir and sauté for 1 minute.
- Then add the vegetable broth, coconut milk, cauliflower, potato, and peas.
- Bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in spinach (if using) during the last few minutes of cook time.
- Salt and pepper to taste. Then garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve with rice or naan/pita bread if desired.

Notes
- Vegetables: Swap in whatever sounds good like kale, broccoli, snow peas, water chestnuts, etc.
- Other additions: Stir in chickpeas (or other white beans) for extra heartiness and plant-based protein.
