PROCESS:
Soup
Sauté the onion, garlic, and lemongrass in a pan with olive oil. Add to slow cooker* or pot if cooking on a stove. Include the carrots, potatoes, peas, and ginger. Add in coconut cream, vegetable stock, and lemon juice. Season with curry powder, JF Curry Salt, black pepper, and turmeric. Stir well to evenly spread. Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours. Make sure to check on soup and add in arrowroot starch if the consistency needs to be thicker.
*Don't have a slow cooker? Simmer over stovetop on low for 4 hours instead.
Paleo Garlic Naan
Whisk the arrowroot flour, coconut flour, egg, and coconut milk in a bowl and let mixture thicken for 10 minutes. Add olive oil to pan and scoop about 1/3 C of batter. Sprinkle one side with garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
Cauliflower Rice Base
In a large pan on medium high heat, sauté the garlic, onion, and cauliflower rice in olive oil and mix everything in evenly. Let sit for a few minutes. I have found that the key to good cauliflower rice is letting it brown and not messing with it too much. Stir occasionally and season with JF Spicy Salt.
Once the soup is ready, combine everything into a bowl. Add cilantro and a sprinkle of JF Spicy Salt and enjoy!
