This curried cauliflower sweet potato soup is really easy to make in under 30 minutes, is budget-friendly and full of beautiful flavours like coconut and lime. It’s also great to make ahead of time as the flavours only improve after a day or two after it’s made. It’s thick, rich, filling and totally bowl-licking worthy. At my house, this soup is served as an entree but it would be wonderful as a side or starter too! I’ll share the recipe with you today but if you get busted licking the bowl in public, don’t blame me! Maybe you have more restraint than I do, but this is a tough one to resist.
It’s Soup Season
Once Fall arrives, I start making soups of every kind at my house. Some are creamy like this curried cauliflower sweet potato soup, some are chunky like this kale and cauliflower chowder and some fall somewhere in between like this tomato lentil soup. I love making a few different soups as part of my Sunday food prep so I have cozy, bowls of soup to come home to all week. Soups are so easy to make plant-based too.
A Healthy Eating Staple
Soup is a great way to include tons of vegetables and other healthy ingredients in your diet. It’s typically low in calories but high volume making it a great way to fill up without going overboard on calories, carbs or fats.
MY LATEST VIDEOSI used full-fat coconut milk in this recipe so it’s a littler high in fat than if you were to use light coconut milk or another plant-based milk. If you’d like to reduce the calories per serving you can go ahead and make that substitution. You can reduce the fat in the recipe further by sautéing with some vegetable stock or water rather than coconut oil. If you’d like to reduce the carbohydrates, simply replace the sweet potato with carrot for a lower carb version of the recipe.
Curried Cauliflower Sweet Potato Soup
Fragrant, rich, creamy and so full of flavour you’ll have this soup on repeat through the fall and winter months. Coconut milk and curry combine perfectly with sweet potato and cauliflower and the lime and coconut sugar add a hint of sweetness and citrus that only makes its better. You can have this on the table in about 30 minutes, making it totally doable for a weeknight dinner.
You might just have all the ingredients on hand and ready to go already!

Made this twice with butternut squash instead of sweet potato. Did not add the coconut milk–used just vegetable broth. The second time around I used a bit too much broth so I added some cooked chickpeas before blending. The recipe is wonderful and I will definitely make it again.

I actually followed the recipe exactly, (and then forget the peas,) but with fresh cilantro and lime, it was a beautiful soup. I am adding it to my favorite recipe list.
