This Coconut Curried Cauliflower Soup is delicious. It is made with roasted cauliflower, Thai flavors, and coconut milk, making it creamy and exceptionally flavorful. It’s a 40-minute dinner recipe you’re going to fall in love with!

Since I first made this roasted curried cauliflower soup a few years ago, it’s become a true staple in my kitchen. It’s one of those comforting, feel-good meals I find myself craving again and again.
I love how warm, creamy, and Thai-inspired it is—if you’re a fan of Thai curries, this soup is absolutely for you. It’s made with cauliflower and coconut milk, making it rich and creamy while remaining dairy-free. Carrots and onions add a gentle sweetness, and you can easily adjust the heat by using more or less Thai curry paste. And on hot days? I’ll even serve it chilled, thinning it slightly for a refreshing twist that’s just as delicious.


Storage and freezing
- Storage: This soup will last 5 days in your fridge. It is even tastier the next day!
- Freezing: This soup freezes beautifully. We love these large Stasher freezer bags for freezing soups. It will last at least 3 months in your freezer. Make sure to remove all air from the bags before freezing to prevent freezer burn.

Holy cow! Fantastic! I had to sub red curry paste and I didn’t blend it completely as I wanted some texture, but this soup is phenomenal. A definite repeat recipe! Thank you!
Really, really good soup! Suggest cutting the carrots more thinly so they break down when using the immersion blender stick. Pieces were still good I the soup as well as the roasted garlic pieces forarnish. Yum.
Hi Kristen! This turned out so awesome!! I also added red lentils and server over rice. Yummo!

I just made the soup for lunch. I followed the recipe exactly, except for adding 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder. This soup is easy to prepare, but certainly sends has the wow factor in flavor. I decided to blend the soup in the Vitamix for that silky texture and given how delicious this soup is, it’s totally worth the trouble.
Thanks for posting
Oh my. We had riced cauliflower from yesterday so I used that instead of roasting. I seasoned to taste by adding more curry. The curry I used is from Trinidad called Chief curry. I added more tumeric. And added two portobello mushroom. In my bowl I added lime juice. Delish! Thank you.

Hello, it looks to be about 180 calories per cup.
This is one of my favorite soups that I make when I have guests over for dinner. It is a sure winner and I always receive rave reviews! Thank you!
Oh my goodness, this may be the best soup I’ve ever tried!! Garnished with a bit of basil 👌 Thank you so much for the recipe.
DELICIOUS AND EASY! My family’s new favorite soup (and we have a LOT of soup at my house)
I’m making this soup for the third time. It is absolutely incredible. I follow the recipe exactly and use my Vitamix blender so it’s silky smooth… But I made one change/addition which was a game changer. At the end, instead of adding the remaining cauliflower for texture, I add broccoli florets. The soup tasted almost like a cream of broccoli. The orange color makes you think there’s cheddar chees in there and of course now you’re getting extra nourishment! Delish!!!
I had high hopes for this as it sounded delicious! Instead it was bitter and biting. I used red curry paste, because that is what I had on hand, as the recipe said to use any color. I tried to “doctor” it up as best I could, but it was still not good. The cauliflower was delicious coming out of the oven so I wished we would have just eaten that before I added it in. Maybe it would have been better with the yellow curry paste? Sorry, but this was not good for us 🙁
Is it unsweetened coconut milk?
Yes!
Hi. Just made this for food prepping for the week!! All I can say is YUM!! So happy I found it and you! Thanks so much!! 🙂
This soup is absolutely delicious. I added half the Thai curry paste (and mine was green) and half the coconut milk, but it was still very flavoursome and creamy. Will make again.
Looks delicious! Have to try this recipe.
You simply Rock! Thank you for sharing Love!
