Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup
By Published 10/16/2014
Creamy and warmly spiced, this cauliflower soup has a spicy sweet flavor that soothes and comforts.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces vegetable broth
- 10 cups cauliflower (one medium head)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoon curry powder (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoon coconut milk
- 1 cup white beans, cooked (boxed beans used) - drain and rinse well
- 2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2-3 tablespoon maple syrup, grade B (or use agave)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ - ¾ teaspoon salt
- optional: a few saffron strands
- to serve: a few pinches of smoked paprika, a few pinches of pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Chop your cauliflower into large florets and remove and green leaves or thick stem.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and submerge cauliflower. Cook until tender but not mushy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain cauliflower and place half of it in a high speed blender.
- Also add to the blender, the cooked beans (drain and rinse first), coconut milk, ginger, curry, vinegar, veggie broth, maple syrup, garlic and cinnamon. Blend until very smooth.
- If you can fit all the soup in your one blender, simply add the remaining cauliflower (that you set aside) and blend it in too. But if your blender is getting a bit too full, pour out half the blended mixture, into a soup pot, and then add the remaining cauliflower and blend.
- Once all the ingredients are blended together, pour all the soup into a soup pot and warm over medium heat. At this point you can salt to taste and add additional spices as desired. You can also stir in the optional saffron strands.
- Simmer the soup one low-medium until ready to serve, at least ten minutes to fully warm it through and allow the flavors to mingle and heat. Serve with a few pinches of smoked paprika on top, a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and optional additional sweetener if you like an additional bold sweet accent to all those spicy savory flavors.
