Healthy, simple Curried Cauliflower Soup that is ready in 30 minutes! It’s warm, subtly spicy, and so comforting – perfect on a chili day!

This season is a soup season, baby! Right after making a mind-blowing Creamy Broccoli Soup, I was determined to make a soup from cauliflower. Because cauli is the king nowadays.

The best flavor combination that came to mind was cauli + curry. A little Indian, a little Moroccan, a little spicy, and a whole lotta yummy!

This soup is warm, cozy, subtly spicy, and comforting. Everything you need on a chilly day!

First, we will caramelize the onions. Then we will add curry powder and ginger and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavor. I recommend using fresh ginger. Dry powdered ginger isn’t gonna cut it. You need that zing from the fresh ginger which brings this dish to life.

Then we will add cauliflower and broth, cover and cook everything down. This will take about 15 minutes. Super quick.

Then blend blend blend. I can’t recommend my Blendec enough. It’s truly the best blender in the world. There’s a soup setting on it which is like 80 seconds. I’ll tell ya though, it only took 30 seconds for everything to blend together and become creamy.

Lastly, transfer the blended mixture back to the pot over low heat. Then add coconut milk. You can use light or regular fat coconut milk. I’ve made both versions and both tasted great. I haven’t noticed much difference. I think blending cauliflower adds additional creaminess so you can get away with light coconut milk.

So, how will you eat this Curried Cauliflower Soup? It’s great as an appetizer. My husband and I enjoyed having it as a starter during the weekday while we waited for our main dish to roast in the oven.

You can also turn it into a meal in itself by pairing it with a big fresh salad or with a sandwich or a wrap.
