- Add half of the coconut milk and 1 teaspoon of the salt, bring to a simmer, and simmer until the cauliflower softens, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender and blend to a creamy consistency. (I blend in my Vitamix on high speed for 1 minute.)
- Return to the soup pot over medium heat and gradually add more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency. Simmer for 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and additional salt and black pepper to taste and serve garnished with the basil, chickpea croutons, roasted cauliflower, and a swirl of coconut milk, if using.
