Thai Coconut Cauliflower Soup - Vegan recipe hero image

This soup is one of my all-time favorites, especially when the days turn chilly.

I remember the first time I made it; I was experimenting with cauliflower, and the way it blended with coconut coconut milk blew me away!

It’s so comforting and nourishing, plus it’s packed with flavor.

I love serving it with a sprinkle of fresh herbs right before diving in.

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using full-fat coconut coconut milk because it gives the soup that rich, creamy texture. If you’re looking for a lighter version, you can use light coconut coconut milk, but it won’t be as indulgent. The red curry paste is key here for that authentic Thai flavor, but feel free to adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance!

Tips & Notes

  • •I keep my fresh ginger in the freezer; it grates beautifully when frozen!
  • •If you want a bit more texture, reserve some cauliflower florets before blending and stir them back in after.

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale towards the end for a nutritional boost.
  • •If you're feeling adventurous, toss in some diced sweet potatoes for a heartier version!

Storage & Freezing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Just make sure to let it cool completely before transferring to the freezer.
