Vegan Curried Cauliflower Soup

This is a soul-warming vegan curried cauliflower soup recipe. It is flavored with curry spices and is dairy-free and gluten-free.

This winter, I've been addicted to soups. I make different types of soup daily; surprisingly, I'm falling in love with them now.

Soups are healthy food indeed, and they help detox our bodies completely. They are one-of-a-kind healthy foods on earth, and also easy to make. Honestly, no soup may take more than 30 minutes. I love the quicker ones the most.

Cauliflower is specifically a winter vegetable. But nowadays, this is available in all seasons. This is a low-carb vegetable and perfect for any diet for weight loss. This is a healthy, versatile veggie with tons of nutrients in it. I will share a post on the nutrition and health benefits of cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli.

Cauliflower is one of the low-carb vegetables. This is a rich vitamin C, K, calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium source. It’s a good source of fiber and protein. Cauliflower has 92% water in it. It keeps you hydrated. Cauliflower is considered a superfood because of its nutritional value.

Curried Cauliflower Soup (Vegan + Keto + Gluten-Free)

This vegan cauliflower soup is superbly delicious, with a curry flavor. At the same time, it is one of the healthiest foods on this planet. This curried cauliflower soup is vegan. I use coconut cream here, but you can use regular heavy cream if you are a vegetarian (not vegan).

This soup is completely keto-friendly. Cauliflower is one of the most recommended vegetables on the keto diet, and lots of cream adds fat macros, so this is a good option for the keto diet.

Another variation of this cauliflower soup is adding cooked lentils (red lentils) to make it thicker and richer. However, lentils are not recommended for a keto-friendly soup.

We will not add flour to the soup to make it creamy and thick, which also makes it gluten-free. When it comes to spices, play around with the ingredients and add your favorite combination of spices to the cauliflower soup.

How to Make Curried Creamy Cauliflower Soup?

Ingredients:

1. Cauliflower Head—This is my hero ingredient. Break it into small, bite-sized florets for quick cooking. Check for any bugs and clean it thoroughly. Please don't throw the stems; we will also add the stems and stalks.

2. Onion, Ginger, and Garlic: These will add a strong flavor to the soup. You can replace them with onion flakes, garlic flakes, or both in powder form. Also, you may add ginger-garlic paste instead of chopped ginger and garlic.

3. Olive oil: This is an essential ingredient for sauteing or roasting. You can use any other vegetable oil, too, but I prefer olive oil as it is a healthier option.

4. Herbs: I am adding fresh rosemary and some basil, as I love these two herbs. You can use fresh or dried herbs. However, you may add some different herbs of your choice, like oregano, thyme, etc.

5. Spices and seasoning: Add paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. You may also add allspice or curry powder to give this a stronger curry flavor.

Other variations of spices—To make it even more flavorful, add 1 tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp cumin powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp paprika/ red chilli powder, and 1 tsp curry powder. You can adjust the quantities according to taste and the amount of vegetables.

Second, take red Thai curry + cayenne pepper + lemon zest + red wine vinegar.

6. Vegetable stock/ broth: You can add regular water, but broth adds more flavor to the dish.

Method of Preparation:

Step 1- Saute or Roast Cauliflower

In a pan, heat oil. Add roughly chopped onion, ginger, and garlic. Saute until translucent. Now add celery stalk and chopped cauliflower florets and stalks. Season with a little spice (paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper). Saute for 5 - 7 minutes until cauliflower turns slightly brown and is perfectly fried.

Step 2- Add stock and cook.

Once the cauliflower is almost cooked, up to 90%, reserve a few pieces for garnish. Then add stock or water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer it for 4 - 5 minutes.

Step 3- Puree the cauliflower chunks

Now puree it using an immersion blender or in a mixing jar. If you are using a mixer grinder, cool it a little.

Step 3- Simmer & Add cream.

Transfer the pureed cauliflower to the soup pan through a fine-mesh sieve. This will make the texture smooth. Press the materials on the sieve to extract the maximum out of it. Simmer for a minute. Then add some coconut cream to the dish. Stir it well. Adjust the seasoning if any.

Final Presentation

Pour the soup into soup bowls, garnish with some more fresh cream, and sprinkle with a little cayenne pepper and parsley/ cilantro leaves. Our delectable, piping hot vegan curried cauliflower soup is ready to serve.
