- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 celery ribs chopped
- 1 red bell pepper seeds removed and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups small cauliflower florets
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 1 1/2 cups chopped kale
- If you prefer a more intense ginger taste, increase the amount of fresh ginger. Ground ginger can be used as a substitute at half the amount. For added heat, add extra cayenne pepper. Spinach serves as a good alternative to kale in this recipe.
