So about this curried cauliflower soup. OK really it’s one of my favorites. All that curry and turmeric, it’s like a little spice of heaven. I mean slice of heaven. And don’t worry. , You won’t turn yellow. Although you may have a “golden” from all that wonderful nourishment. Ha ha see what I did there?
The great thing about this soup is that you don’t even have to make real rice. Nope, it’s that easy! We’re making cauliflower rice instead. Roasted curried cauliflower rice. And it literally takes about 20 minutes to make the “rice,” then you throw it in the soup along with all the rest ingredients. Those POWER nutrient ingredients like kale, CURRY, and broth.
I would call this is a “detox” soup, but I don’t want you to think that eating my brownies mid week is a bad thing. Nope, it’s all about the dark chocolate superfood. And a little bit of balance.
Yes yes, I know detoxes, turmeric, and curry are all the rage right now, but it’s probably a good thing. Maybe we take advantage of this trend? It does wonders for the body, well natural detoxes that is. It just means we PACK more antioxidants, anti-inflammatory foods, and nutrients into our diet. Ya, I like that trend. Soothing to body and the soul.
Trend setting aside, a simple healthy soup recipe is a great staple to have around. This curried cauliflower rice kale soup is a crowd pleaser for everyone. It’s Paleo, and vegan, and dairy free, and gluten-free, and all those dietary labels. But in all honestly, when it comes down to it, this soup is just a healthy recipe packed with real food. Big bold and hearty flavors and yet still healthy.
So if you have 45-50 minutes and a refrigerator full of veggies, that’s basically all you need. Oh and curry spices. Crucial.
Let’s get to this oh so delicious roasted curried cauliflower kale soup. PS. You can totally freeze this and use it for later. Another perk for a veggie packed soup.
