Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, then cook until the onion softens.
Stir in the curry powder and ground cumin. Cook for one minute to toast the spices.
Add the rinsed green lentils, cauliflower florets, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes until the lentils are tender and the cauliflower is soft.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh cilantro before serving.

Mash a few cauliflower pieces with the back of a spoon if you want a thicker consistency. The soup thickens as it sits, so add a splash of broth when reheating portions for meal prep. Use red lentils only if you want a softer result, since green lentils hold their shape better here.Course: Soup
