Curry Cauliflower Soup with Honey
This past week, Hungry Bear and I hosted Sunday night dinner. I love pulled pork, but I don't like most BBQ sauces. They are usually too sweet and tangy for my palate. Instead, I decided to make pulled pork with all of my favorite Vietnamese flavors. The entire menu was...
- Curry Cauliflower Soup with Honey
- Vietnamese Pulled Pork Sandwiches
- Fumi Salad (Asian Cole Slaw)
- Pumpkin Loaf
The Vietnamese pulled pork was fantastic with great flavors from the caramel sauce, lemongrass and chili peppers. Although I was very pleased with the results, I want to make it one more time and tweak the recipe a little bit before I share it with you.
However, I will share our curry cauliflower soup recipe. We first had this soup last year at Chapeau!, which is our favorite neighborhood French restaurant. It was served as an amuse-bouche. We loved it so much that we had to try to replicate the recipe.
The soup is easy to make with only a few ingredients. It's a simple puree of roasted cauliflower and onions with a touch of curry powder and cayenne pepper. Our version of the soup is a golden brown color due to the slightly caramelized onions. We'd rather have the extra flavor from the browned onions than to try to keep it a creamy cauliflower color.
The key ingredients in this soup are the honey and cayenne. After drizzling the honey on the soup, don't stir it in before you eat it. The honey is not there to sweeten the soup, but rather to contrast the spiciness. The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne, but I recommend adding as much cayenne as you can tolerate enjoyably. The soup needs to have heat to get the full effect of the soothing, sweet honey.
At dinner, the soup was a big hit and a great starter course. It will definitely warm you up on a cold day!

i love a big bowl of this soup with a hunk of good crusty bread on a cold, rainy day.

I can’t believe I found this post — we were just at Chapeau last night (which was really great) and had this soup as an amuse bouche. I asked the chef what was in it hoping to be able to recreate it. Now I don’t have to! Thanks!

The addition of honey here is fantastic.
Great soup, and I love the presentation.

This soup looks so delicious. I’ve been wanting to make a curried cauliflower soup for weeks, and we are just starting to get local cauliflower for me to do it. Yum! I’ve seen it done with some apple which I think would be nice as well. The drizzle of honey sounds divine though. I love that the cauliflower flavor is really enhanced by roasting first though. Brings out the flavor so much better than just boiling it.

My husband and I have been big fans of cauliflower soup for ages, but we find this recipe to be our favorite yet! No need for cream! The roasting adds wonderful dimension to the flavor…even though I can barely restrain myself from not eating all the roasted florets before I add them to the soup! :P Many thanks! I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

I think this soup looks great! I love that it is so simple and so budget friendly. I am a believer in a good soup because of these reasons!
Thank you, I loooove this blog!

I was debating Martha’s curry cauliflower soup vs. this one and your comments were far more enthusiastic. It was delicious! Cayenne plus honey is brilliant.
