Curried coconut cauliflower soup

Indulge yourself in this dreamy and creamy curried coconut cauliflower soup. It’s a quick and simple recipe that packs big and bold flavors!

Another Fall day, another soup…right? I don’t know about you but something inside me just switches gears in the Fall and I go on a total soup binge.

This week I’ve been having a particularly “lazy” cooking week, not really wanting to make too much or spend too much time in the kitchen. It probably sounds a bit confusing…since I’m a food blogger and all. And don’t get me wrong, I LOVE cooking and creating recipes!

But sometimes, you just need to take a step back and take a little break. This week for me has been a really strong focus yoga, meditation, spending time outside, journaling, taking baths with bath salts, and all things self-care. I even took a week off from social media, which was really great to help center the mind.

It’s so important to take care of ourselves and so beneficial for the mind, body, and spirit. In fact, it even helps boost your creativity and come back to your work with a fresh outtake on things. (Please do remember to take some time this week to take care of yourself too! After all, you can’t pour water from an empty cup.)

I give all credit for this curried coconut cauliflower soup to my self-care regime. This is one of my absolute favorite recipes I’ve made in a long time, with really refined well-balanced flavors. In fact, I would even count eating this soup as an act of self-care.

This cauliflower soup uses coconut milk instead of dairy, so it’s a great vegan alternative to a traditional creamy cauliflower soup recipe! It also uses madras curry to spice this up for a bold taste!
