This soup is a combination of happy leftovers… my roasted curried cauliflower, leftover canned pumpkin from pumpkin-spice waffles, homemade stock. It’s super easy and extremely flavorful.
At first I wasn’t sure the pumpkin would work, so I mixed a little bit of pumpkin with the soup that was still on the Vitamix tamper. Yum! In it went. Enjoy.
If you use plain roasted cauliflower you have on hand, then add the curry powder to taste. You can make this with full-fat coconut milk and vegetable stock for the dairy-free/vegan version. Paleo and nightshade-avoiding peeps can omit the potato, although the soup will not have quite as much body. Try adding 1 tbsp of ground white chia seeds to thicken it up.
Suitable for:
low-sodium, migraine, gluten-free, reduced-sugar, vegan, vegetarian diets (see recipe notes)

Our local ALDI store has cauliflower for 79¢ a head. We’ve already gone through 2 and now I can get some more. Great recipe plus curry with the turmeric in it is one of the newer magic spices for improved cardiovascular health as one of the top 4 anti-inflammation spices.Yeah!
Thanks, let me know if you make it and what you think. :)
I have the same problem using up a whole head of cauliflower and a whole can of pumpkin. This sounds perfect, especially with curry flavor. I enjoy soup any time of year. Thanks for the recipe.
Of course Dana, thanks for stopping by!
It’s like you looked into my secret heart and designed a soup just for me! This is the perfect combination of flavors in my opinion. Well done, once again, Stephanie!
Haha Kim, I didn’t know I was a psychic recipe developer! Well, as long as I use my powers for good and not for evil. Muwahaha.
What a great combination of flavors! I love using up leftovers, but I can also see making a bigger batch of this even if I didn’t have a half-open can of pumpkin or half a cauliflower left over.
It is perfect for using up leftovers, but also would be great to just make from scratch too.
