Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Coconut

This cauliflower soup is easy to absorb vegetable nutrition, rich in dietary fibre and filling. Just roast the cauliflower, puree it, add stock, coconut milk and boil it.

I got some freshly baked sourdough bread and a large cauliflower in the morning.

I thought it’s wonderful to make this roasted cauliflower soup to serve with sourdough bread, along with some roasted potatoes and grilled fish. It became a light weekday dinner. Recipe adapted from a Jamie Oliver recipe.

Add Coconut Milk Gradually

The cauliflower was slowly roasted for 30 minutes for an intense flavour. With touches of onion, garlic and mixed spices, it had a very simple and elegant vegetable taste.

Personally, I think it was delicious enough only with vegetable broth, but it will be creamier if coconut milk added. If you don’t want the coconut milk to be over-powered, it’s recommended to add coconut milk gradually, then have a taste, adjust bit by bit.

• 400 g cauliflower (with leaves)
• 1 ½ onion
• 3 cloves garlic (skin on)

How To Make Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Coconut

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Cut the cauliflower into florets; onion into 1 cm thick half-moon shape.
2. Place the garlic (skin on), onions, cauliflower (with leaves) on a baking try. Season with salt, pepper and spices. Then generously pour in olive oil and mix well. Place into the oven and roast for 30mins until the veggies are cooked and charred.
3. Discard the garlic skins. Blitz all the veggies in a blender until smooth, then transfer to a pot. Add water, vegetable bouillon powder and coconut milk. Give them a nice stir and have a taste.
4. If the soup is too thick, add some more water/broth. Season with salt & pepper to perfection.
