For a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and use a plant-based milk alternative instead of half-and-half. The saffron threads add a subtle floral note and vibrant color; don't skip them if possible! If you don't have sea scallops for garnish, try a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large, deep sauté pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
02
StepAdd cauliflower and onion; sauté, stirring infrequently at first, then more often, until vegetables begin to turn golden brown (7-8 minutes).
03
StepReduce heat to low, add butter, sugar, and garlic; continue cooking until vegetables develop a rich, spotty caramel color (about 10 minutes).
04
StepIncorporate ginger, turmeric, saffron, and cayenne pepper; sauté until fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).
05
StepPour in broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until cauliflower is tender (about 10 minutes).
06
StepUsing an immersion blender or traditional blender, purée until completely smooth (30 seconds to 1 minute). If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.
07
StepReturn to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half to achieve a soup-like consistency that is thick enough to support a garnish. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish, and serve immediately.
