Coloured cauliflowers are so pretty. Roasted Orange Cauliflower Blender Soup is so EASY!

If you love cauliflower curry, this recipe is for you. Combine roasted cauliflower with a few simple ingredients. Blitz and enjoy! Homemade soup is NOT difficult.

Have you made blender soups before? Honestly, your family will think you have spent the day in the kitchen. What a great way to produce delicious soups in a matter of minutes.

Easy Roasted Cauliflower Soup is one of our family favourites. With orange cauliflower available at the markets, I thought a new quick and easy cauliflower soup was a great idea.

We also love Easy Roasted Pumpkin Soup too. Can you see a colour theme here?

WHAT IS ORANGE CAULIFLOWER?

I love visiting the markets in the fall. All the colours of the rainbow are right at your fingertips. Harvest is the BEST time of year for all the wonderful ingredients not available all year long.

The fall coloured cauliflower always get my attention. How can you not be drawn to purple and orange cauliflower? Perfect for the holiday dinners, and a must on my Thanksgiving table.

My grandson’s favourite colour is orange, while my granddaughters is purple. I have them both covered, now if I could only convince them to eat this healthy cauliflower soup.

Is orange cauliflower natural? Do you know the story behind orange cauliflower? Saveur calls it an “alien vegetable”. Apparently, it was discovered in Canada in 1970. Woohoo! We are famous for poutine, so being famous for cheddar cauliflower (another name for orange cauliflower) is a feather in our cap.

Orange cauliflower is a genetic mutation that actually has about 25% more beta-carotene than regular white cauliflower. Purple cauliflower along with orange cauliflower has a mild sweet taste. They can be used in recipes just like regular white cauliflower, but these LOOK so cool! The Kitchn has a great article on these coloured cauliflowers.

We enjoy all kinds of cauliflower dishes. They are healthy and delicious. Grilled cauliflower is a great side. Looking for a tasty appetizer? Give crispy breaded cauliflower a try. I have an air fryer recipe that I am working on right now. Stay tuned, I know you are going to LOVE it!!

I think the colour really adds to the presentation of cauliflower recipes. Just image a beautiful roasted purple cauliflower on your holiday table. It sure would be fun to make purple cauliflower hummus

ORANGE CAULIFLOWER SOUP IS SUPER EASY

With a few simple ingredients, this easy to make blender soup is ready to eat before you know it.

First, you will need a good blender. Here is where I thank my husband for getting me a *Vitamix. With the “soup setting”. I just place all the ingredients in the blender, and in minutes the soup is hot and ready to eat. SO EASY!

If you don’t have a soup setting, don’t fret. Just blitz your ingredients in a regular blender and warm the soup in a pot. It will still taste YUMMY, with only one extra step.

Do you have an *immersion blender? Another super handy kitchen gadget. I use is ALL the time to make silky smooth mashed potatoes.

Place all your ingredients in a pot. Blend and heat. This is ALMOST a one-pot meal!

BONUS TIP! The best part of this curry cauliflower soup is that you can actually roast the cauliflower in the oven ahead of time (like on the weekend). Everything goes into the blender when you are ready to make the soup. This easy cauliflower recipe is FASTER than pizza delivery.

In fact, you can even make this cauliflower soup ahead of time and heat it when you are ready to eat. You choose what works best for you.

You can adjust the amount of curry powder you use in the recipe. Some like it HOT and some like it MILD.

For the actual soup you will need:

roasted orange cauliflower (one large head)
coconut milk
chicken broth
curry powder
*curry flavoured olive oil (or regular olive oil)

LET’S MAKE CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Cut up the cauliflower (saving a few pieces for garnish) and coat with curry oil, season with curry powder, salt and pepper.
Roast cauliflower in the oven until tender. (Remember, like I mentioned before this can be done AHEAD of time).
Place the roasted cauliflower in the blender. Pulse to break up slightly, then add ALL the other ingredients. Easy right?
Blitz until smooth. If you have a soup setting choose that. If not, once the soup is to your desired “smoothness” level, pour into a pot and heat.
That’s it! Soup is ready. Fill the bowls and dig in! Homemade soup does not have to be complicated or time-consuming to taste delicious.

Don’t let the harvest season go by without tasting the flavours of fall. Roasted Orange Cauliflower Blender Soup With Curry is a fun way to try a new colour of cauliflower on your table.
