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.

Comfort food season is here. One of the most delicious of all. Warm bowls of chili, soup, curry, and stew to wrap my hands around. In fact, I have HUGE mugs that we love to use this time of year.

RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for this creamy curried cauliflower soup can be found at the bottom of this post.

For me, the best way to cook cauliflower is roasting. It adds to much depth and works great in so many recipes.

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

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

For This Blender Soup You Will Need:

  • roasted orange cauliflower (one large head)
  • coconut milk
  • chicken broth
  • curry powder
  • (affiliate)curry flavoured olive oil (or regular olive oil)
A head of orange cauliflower

Frequently Asked Questions

Is orange cauliflower natural?

Do you know the story behind it? 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 it) is a feather in our cap.

Is orange cauliflower genetically modified?

It is a mixture of heirloom varieties. The colour comes from the extra beta-carotene in the florets.

How does coloured cauliflower taste?

It has a mild sweet taste, and has the same texture as the white variety.

Preparing Roasted Cauliflower Soup

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

  1. Cut up the cauliflower (saving a few pieces for garnish) and coat with curry oil, season with curry powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast in the oven until tender. (Remember, like I mentioned before this can be done AHEAD of time).
  3. Place the baked cauliflower in the blender. Pulse to break up slightly, then add ALL the other ingredients. Easy right?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

BONUS TIP! The best part of this 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. FASTER than pizza delivery.

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

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

You can even make it a vegan soup by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Alternative Ways to Blend Soup

You will need a good blender. Here is where I thank my husband for getting me a (affiliate) 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!

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

Do you have an (affiliate) 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!

Of course, you can still make a delicious soup by using a (affiliate) potato masher. Place the roasted cauliflower in a large pot. Add all the other ingredients. Heat through and mash. You won’t have a creamy texture, but you WILL have a healthy cauliflower soup.

A blender full of Cauliflower Soup.

We enjoy all kinds of cauliflower recipes. They are healthy and delicious. There are many great ways to enjoy it. From appetizers to main courses, and as a nutritious snack with dips.

Don’t let the harvest season go by without tasting the flavours of fall. We happen to this this is one of the best cauliflower soup recipes.

    Yum! When I read the title I thought you had oranges along with the cauliflower, but orange cauliflower makes much more sense! I use cauliflower a lot and agree about roasting it being best. I will have to keep my eyes out for orange cauliflower and give this a try!

    Wow! I’ve had purple cauliflower before – it’s all over our farmers markets – but I’ve never seen orange cauliflower before! With blender soup, if you wanted to leave it a little chunky, will the vitamix still heat it? Or does it have to be fully pureed into a thick liquid to heat?

      The soup mode is about 6 minutes…so it will be silky smooth if you use that mode.

    We buy orange cauliflower every time we see it at the market, including this morning. I find it has a lovely flavor, milder than the white cauliflower. It shines in this soup, which is unbelievably easy, fast and looks so tasty!

      I wish we could have it available all year long. We try to grab it at the market when we can. This soup will also work with regular white cauliflower as well.
