Vegan Cauliflower Curry Soup from Guest Author Sydney Leigh

Vicki here, delighted to welcome my good friend, the Canadian author Sydney leigh, back to the kitchen.  This soup looks fabulous, and I’m eager to try it. As I am her new book, Instagoner.

------------------

With the cooler temperatures moving in, nothing appeals to me more than a hearty, flavorful soup. My must-haves are simple ingredients and easy steps. Far from a master chef, my skills are basic, at best. My protagonist, blogger Emily Dalle, doesn’t post a lot of recipes either. She’s too busy sharing the details of a recent police investigation. In my new mystery, Instagoner, Emily enlists the help of her followers to solve the recent murder of local talk show host, Jackie Hunter. Crowdsourcing for clues has never been so dangerous. Bon appétit!



Vegan Cauliflower Curry Soup

Ingredients:  

1 head of cauliflower

3 cloves of garlic

1 onion

1 cup of vegetable broth

2 cups of water

1 small can of coconut milk

1 tablespoon of curry paste

Dash of salt & pepper

 

Directions:

 1.      Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 2.      Cut the cauliflower into florets, then cook it along with the onion and garlic on a baking sheet for thirty mins.

 3.      In a pot add 1 cup of vegetable broth, 2 cups of water, the coconut milk, and the curry paste.

 4.      Add in the cooked veggies, heat up. (If you like it spicy, add half an arbol pepper!). Blend well and enjoy!

  1. This time of year, we often turn to hearty meals that warm you from the inside out. As example, homemade chili or a big bowl of vegetable beef stew fits that bill. Taught by my mother never to waste anything means putting dabs in the freezer of the fresh veggies through the growing season and leftover beef roast. That way you can add just a few ingredients to these "saved" items and make a big pot of vegetable beef soup that tastes just like you've picked the veggies right that day from the garden. Fresh is always better than canned!

    Thank you for the delicious sounding recipe! I will be adding it to my recipe file for this winter's quick and easy meals.

    1. Oooh I love homemade chili. What a great suggestion. Thank you for stopping by Kay. You've made me hungry. Is chili an acceptable breakfast meal, LOL? I say yes!

  3. Big fan of one pot meals, so soups are a standard part of winter meals. We also enjoy marinara which I usually make from fresh or San Marzano canned tomatoes, stews, chili, stroganoff and casseroles. Welcome to the Kitchen, Sydney and thanks for a new soup to try.

    1. Good morning Marcia and thank you for the warm welcome! I love one pot meals, too. Hearty, simple, not too much clean up. What's not to love? One of my goals this winter is to attempt a marinara. I'll make sure to pick up some San Marzano canned tomatoes--thanks for the tip!
