This creamy curried cauliflower soup is absolutely one of my favorites and so easy to make. It’s warm and comforting while providing a great burst of plant-based nutrition with cauliflower, yams, red peppers and garbanzo beans for a little protein.
The coconut milk kicks it up a notch and adds the creaminess. It's also organic and only has organic coconut and water! If you'd prefer, though, you could also use a teaspoon of coconut extract with unsweetened non-dairy milk.
Enjoy this satisfying and easy curried cauliflower soup recipe with a large bowl of salad greens or munch on it as a snack when you get that afternoon urge.
This soup is easily made in the slow cooker, too. Note: If using a slow cooker, set on high for 4 hours or low for 8.
Vegan Curried Cauliflower Soup
I always have my homemade vegetable broth on hand, as I like to freeze in batches, and is what I've used for this curried cauliflower soup with coconut milk.
Grab your ingredients and start prepping the potatoes, yams, cauliflower, carrots, bell pepper and onion. Once prepped, add these vegetables and garbanzo (chickpeas) beans in a large pot over medium heat.
Sprinkle your spices in and add the 4 cups of vegetable broth. Once it has come to a boil, cover and simmer on low until vegetables are tender. About 45 minutes.
Towards the end, add the coconut milk, heat through and serve!
