It’s the first week of Fall which means it is officially soup season… Wahoo! I’m pretty much convinced blended creamy soups are the new smoothie bowls, so I will be diving headfirst into this trend and decorating my soup bowls along the way. I can’t wait for you to try this absolutely delicious and savory Healthy Vegan Roasted Carrot & Cauliflower Soup as the first fall soup recipe on the blog!

A Truly Comforting Vegan Cauliflower Carrot Soup

Roasted Vegetables Give This Vegan Soup So Much Flavor

What makes this vegan soup so good is roasting the vegetables before adding them to the coconut milk and vegetable broth to simmer.

By roasting and blending the carrots and cauliflower ahead of time it actually decreases the amount of time you have to simmer the soup to get the right consistency too.

My biggest advice for this soup is to make sure to NOT undercook the vegetables. If you don’t cook them until they are browned and starting to crisp, they won’t blend well. Don’t get me wrong, you want a nice creamy cauliflower carrot soup, but not one with two many chunks in it for the best texture!

What Curry Spice Should I Use In This Recipe?

Also, the curry spice you use to make this soup does matter and affects the taste quite a bit. I used  Spice Hunters Curry Seasoning, but it is a mixture of cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, cloves, red pepper and black pepper in case you want to make your own mix at home.

You can likely find recipes online for homemade curry spices with these ingredients, but I personally prefer to buy them premixed. The reason for this is it helps me save money and reduce waste from buying large amounts of spices I don’t cook with often (like cloves and coriander).

What Do I Need To Make a Blended Soup?

Other than the ingredients, you’ll either need a good blender or an immersion blender. I’m still on the hunt for a great immersion blender, but I use the Kitchenaid K400 Blender which works great for soups. It’s also the blender I used to make my Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup and Vegan Tomato Red Pepper Soup.

The Best Vegan Carrot Cauliflower Soup Recipe!

This soup is so easy and is best served with homemade garlic bread, fresh oregano, and crispy chickpea croutons on top!

P.S- if you are looking for a really good crispy chickpea recipe I followed this baked chickpea recipe by Minimalist Baker to top the soup you see in these pictures. I added a little bit of oil, curry powder, paprika, and salt before baking the chickpeas for 45 minutes so that the flavors would pair well with this soup.

I hope you enjoy this comforting and Healthy Vegan Roasted Carrot & Cauliflower Soup!  Plus, get excited for all the soup recipes to come with this chilly weather!
