Roasted Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Soup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two 15×10-inch baking pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid (aquafaba); rinse and drain chickpeas. In a large bowl combine cauliflower, potatoes, and onion. In a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons of the aquafaba, 1½ teaspoons of the curry powder, and 2 tablespoons water. Add to vegetables; toss. Divide vegetables between prepared pans; spread in a single layer. Roast 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are just tender and browning in places. Leave oven on.
2. In a 4-quart Dutch oven combine roasted vegetables, the chickpeas, remaining 1½ teaspoons curry powder, the broth, and crushed red pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or until vegetables are very tender. Season with salt and black pepper. (For thicker soup, mash veggies slightly with a potato masher.)
3. Meanwhile, place quinoa in a 15x10-inch baking pan. Roast quinoa 6 to 8 minutes or until golden and has a nutty aroma, stirring occasionally.
4. Top servings of soup with toasted quinoa, scallions, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
