- Stir in the cauliflower and add the bay leaf, ginger, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until veggies are coated in spices. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and let the soup simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.

Notes
If you want a stronger ginger flavor, you can use more fresh ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. If you want the soup to be spicier, add more cayenne pepper. You can use spinach instead of kale in this recipe.
