Paleo Soup Recipes:
Roasted Cauliflower Curry Soup
Roasted Cauliflower
Eating delicious paleo soup recipes easily makes this my favorite time of year. As you can probably tell from the recipes that I like, creamy soups are a weakness for me. Like this creamy delight and this one. It’s not simply that I enjoy the creamy texture, it’s also because I like my soups to serve as standalone meals so I tend to want a heavier texture to make a hearty soup.
Back to this roasted cauliflower curry soup; I’ll be honest, this soup is epic. It combines two paleo staples; cauliflower and coconut milk. The cauliflower brings it’s unique flavor and we achieve a Thai element with the curry paste and coconut milk. The flavors blend together seamlessly. The ingredients here are simple and the fresher they are, the better your soup will taste. One word of warning, be careful about the curry paste that you choose. Read the ingredients to be sure you’re not getting anything that you don’t want.
This soup makes me super happy, so let’s jump right in:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of cauliflower florets (approximately 1 head of cauliflower, roughly chopped)
