How to Make Curried Cauliflower Soup

Remove from oven when the tips of the cauliflower change their color into golden brown. Or if you have an Air Fryer, you can make Air Fryer cauliflower and use it.

    Sooo good!!
    I only used 1/2 tin of coconut milk as I only had full fat and finished it with toasted almonds and coriander yum!
    Thank you

      I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the recipe and made it your own with the almonds and coriander! Using full-fat coconut milk can definitely make a dish richer, so adjusting the quantity was a smart move. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback!

    Absolutely delicious! I accidentally added a bit more curry and turmeric and it was great! Instead of soy cream, I have coconut cream and it is a nice touch!

    I just made this and it’s absolutely delicious! (even though I slightly torched the cauliflower ). Very easy to make too. Definitely a keeper!
    My curry powder tastes quite bitter so I used just 1/2 teaspoon, and completely omitted the soy cream cause I did t have any.
    Thanks a lot!

    Absolutely delicious! So flavorful. I added a little curry power to the cauliflower when roasting to give it some additional heat. This soup has the perfect kick and a nice consistency. Easy and healthy. I paired it with some pea and potato samosas but this would also be excellent with some naan for dipping!

    Great and easy recipe! I used my air fryer to roast the cauliflower which I also seasoned with smoked paprika in addition to the salt and pepper. Amazing flavors from such a simple recipe!

    Roasting the cauliflower really adds to the soup. The only thing different I did was double up on the spice. We love curry. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

    How many cups roughly would you say is a small head? I want to make this tomorrow as it sounds amazing! I have probably 5 to 6 cups of florets cut up! Thanks
