Coloured cauliflowers are so pretty. Roasted Orange Cauliflower Blender Soup is so EASY!
Combine roasted cauliflower with a few simple ingredients. Blitz and enjoy it! 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.
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)
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
It is a mixture of heirloom varieties. The colour comes from the extra beta-carotene in the florets.
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.
- Cut up the cauliflower (saving a few pieces for garnish) and coat with curry oil, season with curry powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roast in the oven until tender. (Remember, like I mentioned before this can be done AHEAD of time).
- Place the baked 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.
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.
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.

I love how easy this soup is, and it is so delicious especially on chilly fall days!
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
Nothing like soup on a chilly day to warm up with.
David
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!
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
Roasting cauliflower is the best. Hope you give this soup a try.

I love cooking with fun colors of cauliflower, they make everything so colorful and fun! This soup sounds incredibly creamy and flavorful. I especially like the addition of the curry and coconut milk. What a fun way to put a spin on traditional cauliflower soup!

I love all the colours of cauliflower too. Wish they were available all year round. Hope you give this delicious soup recipe a try.
Emily Leary
What a delicious recipe! It’s perfect for these chilly days and I’m sure my family will love it, especially if I use orange or purple cauliflower. Such a good idea!
Homemade & Yummy
This would be so pretty with the purple cauliflower…I will have to find one and try it out. This recipe is great for cold rainy days like we are having today.
Eileen Kelly
We love cauliflower and orange cauliflower is also just as popular! Your recipe is just delicious and will be added to the family rotation! It is healthy, easy and delicious!
Homemade & Yummy
I only wish I am able to get this fun cauliflower all year long.
Nicole
Cauliflower is really trending nowadays I saw cauliflower tacos and cauliflower rice and now this! Man, I must really revisit cauliflower and see what Im missing. THis soup looks velvety and delicious!
Homemade & Yummy
Oh now some of those sound fun…we love cauliflower. Such a great veg to work with.
Sharon
Nothing better than a big bowl of creamy soup to get you through the colder months. This looks so good!
Homemade & Yummy
YES…time for focus on ALL the comfort foods for the next several months.
Vanessa Vickery
Loving the look of this soup! Will need to go and find me some orange cauliflower. I have not seen any in Australia before!
Homemade & Yummy
Hope you can find it. This recipe will work just fine with regular white cauliflower.
Julie
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?
Homemade & Yummy
The soup mode is about 6 minutes…so it will be silky smooth if you use that mode.
Sam | Ahead of Thyme
Curried cauliflower soup sounds amazing!! I love everything made with cauliflower!! And this recipe looks sooo easy, healthy and yummy! Pinning to try this week!
Homemade & Yummy
ENJOY….this is super easy to make. If you have your cauliflower pre-cooked…it makes a quick and easy meal for a busy weeknight.
Nicoletta Sugarlovespices
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!
Homemade & Yummy
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.
Shannon
I love the simplicity of this soup. And it’s convincing me that I might need to splurge on a high end blender! I think it’s so awesome that you can just throw these ingredients in a blender and have a hot soup in no time!
Homemade & Yummy
YES…you need a GREAT blender. I am so happy that hubby decided to splurge on a Vitamix…we never looked back.
Renee Gardner
I could live on hearty, pureed vegetable soups like this one all fall and winter long. It sounds to me like you depend on your blender the way I depend on my stick blender! It’s not exactly the same, but I’m sure I can make it work.
Homemade & Yummy
I have a hand-held blender too…and I use it all the time. LOVE all my kitchen tools…so fun to work with.
Anna Hettick
Such a gorgeous soup! I love the versatility of cauliflower! I’ve seen orange and purple cauliflower in the store before but haven’t purchased it.
Homemade & Yummy
I wish they were available all year…they add such nice colour to recipes.
Shelley
There is just so much I love about this idea! I mean … cauliflower, and all the other great nutrition jam-crammed in here … awesome right off the bat! Plus it requires just a few super-simple ingredients and involves the ridiculously easy blender method (which I am DYING to try)! Oh … and curry … YUM! I’m so inspired – and absolutely craving this for lunch!
Homemade & Yummy
Yup this is a winner in so many areas.
Courtney
I love curried cauliflower soup. I have never seen an orange one before though – I will have to keep my eyes open for them at our farmer’s markets – looks like they give a really nice colour to the soup.
Homemade & Yummy
Yes your best bet on finding this at the market. I wish we could buy them all year long. Hope you give this recipe a try.
