Most of the seasoning comes from curry powder\u2013a full tablespoon\u2013so be sure to use a fresh, high-quality curry powder (or simply one that you like).

Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cumin seeds, ginger, chile pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, for another 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon of the curry powder, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook over low heat until sweet potato softens, about 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Add the cauliflower, chickpeas, and tomatoes to the pot. Add just enough water to almost cover the cauliflower, probably about 3 cups. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons of curry powder, and add salt and cayenne pepper (more if you like things hot, less or none at all if you prefer it not spicy). Cover and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter and serve hot.<\/li>\n<li>Note: The peanut butter adds a gram of fat per serving but gives the soup a richness you won\u2019t want to miss. If necessary, you can leave it out or substitute with cashew butter or another nut butter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p>Preparation time:\u00a015 minute(s)\u00a0| Cooking time:\u00a045 minute(s)<\/p>\n<p>Number of servings (yield):\u00a08<\/p>\n<h4>Nutrition Facts<\/h4>\n<p>Nutrition (per serving):\u00a0181\u00a0calories, 17 calories from fat, 1.9g total fat, 0mg cholesterol, 866.8mg sodium (with 1 teaspoon salt), 657.9mg potassium, 35.6g carbohydrates, 7.7g fiber, 7.6g sugar, 7.4g protein, 3 points.<\/p>\n<p>from <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.fatfreevegan.com\/2010\/12\/curried-cauliflower-sweet-potato-soup.html\">fatfreevegan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of those dishes that taste even better the next day, after the flavors have had time to develop, so feel free to make it ahead of time and reheat it.
