Cauliflower Coconut Soup

“Cauliflower Coconut Soup” doesn’t that sound comforting and delicious?

I like to have soups and salads at least 2-3 times a week and I am continuously developing recipes using different vegetables. Since I have bought Thermomix my life has become so easy, I can make soups in 10-15 minutes and they are healthy, the nutrients are stored carefully as it cooks at an optimal temperature.

This Cauliflower Coconut Soup has definitely become one of my favourites, it is creamy, vegan and completely gluten-free.

I have also made a cold version of this soup but that wasn’t well-received by my husband hence I thought I’d share the hot soup recipe which we all loved.

I served this Cauliflower Coconut Soup with few crackers to give that texture and paired it with my Sake flavoured grilled Chicken (recipe is coming soon).

It was a perfectly well-balanced meal with complete nutritional value. If you are vegan you can serve it with grilled tofu, for vegetarians you can serve it with grilled paneer.

I am sharing a Thermomix recipe and I will share the stovetop method in another post.

So this is how you this Cauliflower Coconut Soup!
