- Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Toss cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons oil and spread in single layer on baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing halfway. Broil for a couple minutes as desired for extra caramelization.
- When cauliflower is almost finished, put remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and slightly translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add garlic, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and nutmeg, and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups broth, coconut milk, and roasted cauliflower. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, until cauliflower very tender and flavors have had a chance to meld.
- Transfer to blender container and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add additional broth as needed for desired consistency. Serve with your choice of garnish.
