African-spiced cauliflower soup

Farmer’s Direct sent me this ginormous head of cauliflower on Thursday. Fortunately no weird stuff like beetroot or dill. The cauliflower was taking up half a shelf in the fridge, so I chopped it into chunks, added some chicken stock and spices and made soup for lunch today. Yum.
