Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, anaheim pepper, carrot, and celery and cook, occasionally stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds more. Next, add the curry powder, Indian red chili pepper, and cinnamon, and cook a few minutes more.
- Add the cauliflower, apple, water, and chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a standard blender, purée the cauliflower soup in batches until smooth enough for your taste. If using a standard blender, take care not to fill the jar more than half full per batch, leave the hole in the lid open, cover with a clean dishtowel to allow the heat to escape), and pour it back into the saucepan.
- Stir in the honey and heavy cream. Bring the Cauliflower Soup to a simmer, and taste and adjust season with kosher salt, if needed. Ladle the Cauliflower Soup into bowls and top with a drizzle of heavy cream. Enjoy! Pair with our Perfect Focaccia Bread.

Notes
- How to Store & Re-Heat
- To store: Let the soup cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.
- To reheat: Transfer it to a saucepan over medium-low heat or in a microwave-safe container.
- Stir the soup occasionally until it is heated through. If the soup has become too thick, add a splash of water or broth to thin it out. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remember that the Cauliflower soup's texture may change slightly upon reheating, especially if it has been frozen, but this can be remedied by adding a splash of cream or milk to the soup while reheating. Be careful not to overheat the soup, which can cause it to lose flavor and nutrients.
- Make-Ahead
- Making Spicy Curried Cauliflower Soup ahead of time can save time and make meal planning easier. To make ahead, cook the Cauliflower soup according to the recipe instructions and let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for three days or in the freezer for three months. When you're ready to serve the soup, reheat it on the stove or microwave, occasionally stirring until heated.
- You could add a splash of water or broth if the soup has thickened during storage. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper till the desired amount. You can also freeze the soup in portions, taking out only what you need for a quick meal.
- How to Freeze
- I don't recommend it; it is due to the cream affecting the recipe.
