Coconut Cauliflower and Cumin Soup Recipe

An easy, low carb and Paleo, vegetarian Cumin Cauliflower and Coconut Soup that makes a delicious lunch or dinner.

I love having soup ready in the fridge or freezer for quick meals and snacks. Lately I have been making lots of cauliflower based soups since it is the perfect thing to make a nice thick and creamy soup without all the calories and fat. Normally I reach for curry with cauliflower soup, but this time I wanted to mix things up and decided to use smoky cumin and sweet coconut milk instead. I prefer it without any added sweetness but you could add a touch of maple syrup or brown sugar to sweeten things up. You could also add some protein by adding toasted chickpeas, tofu, roasted chicken, or lean sausage.

I am not a big fan of cauliflower. In fact, unless it's raw and chopped up really tiny on my salad I don't eat it at all. But this soup was DELICIOUS. It's creamy and rich and almost tastes buttery. Mine didn't have that pretty orange color like in the picture. It actually looked light brown but not an unappetizing color. The cauliflower cooks very quickly so it did not take long to make.

Very good, smooth and filling. I like how easy it was to make and freezer friendly is always a plus.

Almost all of the sodium comes from the vegetable broth so you could use a lower sodium broth or make a homemade broth. You could try the the coconut milk from a carton but it won't be as rich or creamy. I haven't tried it personally so I am not sure exactly how it will turn out.
