This coconut curry soup is thickened with cauliflower! A vegetarian recipe that's low carb, gluten free, dairy free, and keto friendly!

This recipe is about all the C's – Creamy, Coconut, Curry, Cauliflower – if only keto started with a C! I recently made a Mistletoe Margarita that had canned coconut milk as a base. And as I had some leftover I decided to make this warming curry soup.
It actually all comes together very quickly – and other than the garlic paste are all items from the pantry or freezer – so it's ideal if you need a quick turnaround. No chopping or preparation time, either!
How to Make Keto Coconut Curry Soup
To make this recipe as quick as possible, I used a 12 oz bag of steam-in-the-microwave bag of cauliflower. I started it cooking while I assembled the rest of the soup. But if you are cooking fresh cauliflower you can add it to the soup while it is simmering, and continue to cook until fork-tender.
To a large pot (deep sided is best!), add canned coconut milk, vegetable or chicken broth, curry powder, garlic paste, and ground cumin.
Bring to the boil, turn off the heat, then add the cooked cauliflower.
Use an immersion blender (stick blender) to whizz the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer it all to a jug blender.
Taste for seasoning – it will probably benefit from a generous amount of salt and pepper. You might also like to add a pinch of cayenne!
Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with some pepitas (shell-free pumpkin seeds).
This recipe would serve four as an appetizer or two as a lunch dish.

Very good! I used the entire can of coconut milk and two cups of beef broth (that's what I had on hand).. added garlic powder and onion powder and upped the curry powder because I was making more than recipe called for. Added cooked chopped shrimp at the end. So good and spicy. Will def make again. Warms the tummy!
