- When broth is boiling, whisk in peanut butter and chile garlic sauce. Place cauliflower chunks into boiling broth, then reduce heat to medium low. Cover and allow to cook for 30-40 minutes, until cauliflower is soft.
- Use an immersion blender to puree cauliflower mixture, or alternatively you may spoon batches into a food processor, puree, then return to the soup pot.
