Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup (Vegan) Recipe

Although this soup “has a curry flavor” it contains the warm creamy yet light undertones of a Thai dish.

The combination of fresh cauliflower and creamy coconut milk, finished off with lime juice and topped with fresh coriander, is delicious.

This soup recipe serves eight and would be excellent as a starter. Alternatively, feed fewer hungry mouths, and you would have the main meal. That should be served with crusty fresh bread and a Vegan spread of choice.

What Are the Ingredients for Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup

1 head of cauliflower cut into flowerets
2 medium sticks of celery, finely chopped
1 carrot finely chopped
1 onion finely, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil
1 liter of vegetable stock
1 425-gram can of coconut milk
1 teaspoon curry powder

How to Make Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup

Use low heat to heat your oil of choice in a medium Dutch oven or other deep-sided cooking pot.

Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and salt.

Stir gently until the onion is softened, which should take about five minutes.

Add the cauliflower and vegetable stock.

Increase the heat to medium until the Dutch oven starts to simmer.

Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook until the cauliflower is tender. It should take about 10 minutes.

Keep the heat low and stir in the coconut milk, curry powder, and Sambal Oelek. Cook for a further two minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.

You can use a handheld blender to purée the soup.

Alternatively, wait until the soup has cooled a little and transfer in batches to a blender and purée. If choosing this method you will have to return pureed soup to the Dutch oven and reheat it. Serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Roast up some peanuts and serve them crushed over the soup.

Crusty fresh bread with a spread of choice.

One Recipe Two Different Types of Curries

There are two different curry blends you can use successfully in this soup. 

West Indian and Jamaican curry blends have allspice in them. This spice blend complements cauliflower and the nutty tones in the sweet-tasting coconut milk.

On the other hand, an Indian curry blend contains Cardamon, giving the soup a sharp curry taste.

So, changing out the curry blends gives this soup recipe two different flavors.

Can You Freeze Soup?

Can you freeze Vegan cauliflower soup? Yes, it will be good in the freezer for three months.

There are many ways to freeze my favorite is using a large ice cube tray. Storing these soup cubes in the freezer is a no-mess no-fuss way of having a quick lunch or dinner on hand.
