Golden Soup (Turmeric and Cauliflower Soup with Crispy Chickpeas)

Saute onion, garlic, cauliflower, cashews and turmeric until fragrant

Pour in water and simmer until the cauliflower and cashews are softened. This may take 15-20 minutes. I usually start with half of the water and see if the cauliflower are barely covered. You may add water towards the end if the soup turned out too thick.

Transfer the soup in a blender or use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Add water if the soup too thick for your preference.

Finish the disk with salt and a squeeze of lemon to taste. Serve hot, top with crispy chickpeas, chopped cilantro/parsley and splash of olive oil.

To make the crispy chickpeas: drain and wash chickpeas. Remove the skin if its still on. Spread over a baking sheet and sprinkle with spices. Roast to 205C for 30-40 minutes. Do this ahead of the cook.
