Yes, it’s another orange soup. There may be more this month, so fair warning! But this one is a pretty awesome recipe, if I do say so myself.
This soup has a pleasant depth and is slightly sweet from the addition of those pretty orange potatoes and roasted cauliflower. The sweetness is delicately enhanced with a light sprinkle of garam masala. And, the chunky veggies and thick and creamy broth make it good choice for lunch or a light dinner.
Sweet Potato Cauliflower Soup
yield: 6 to 8 servings
- 1 large head cauliflower (the one I used was at least 7″ in diameter
- olive oil for drizzling
- Few dashes garam masala (optional)
- 3 medium to large sized peeled sweet potatoes, cut into 1″ pieces
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 7 cups filtered water
First, preheat your oven to 400 °F and cut up your cauliflower into bite sized pieces. Sprinkle cauliflower lightly with garam masala. Place cauliflower onto ungreased cookie sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Place in oven and let roast until golden brown on the tops and tender, but not mushy, about 20-30 minutes. There’s no need to flip ‘em. Just remove from oven and let cool while you cook the rest of the soup.
In large stockpot, bring sweet potato, onion, garlic and water to a boil. Salt (abt 3/4 tsp) and stir. Reduce heat and allow to remain at a constant simmer until sweet potatoes are tender. Add in cooked cauliflower and divide soup into 2 parts.
Let soup cool and then blend one part soup in blender until very smooth. Combine with second part soup and stir. Salt to taste and warm up over stovetop if needed.

WOW! This soup us A-MAZING! I just finished making it for the first time &I love it. I used what I had in the kitchen. I used a large can of sweet potatoes, 5cups of water, 1 tbls each of Tastefully Simples Onion Onion and Garlic Garlic and a few dashes of sea salt. I had planned on using the California blend frozen broccoli and califlower mix but realized at the last minute that I was out so the soup is without veggies but still very good. I pulsed in blender for about 1 min and the consistency was perfect. I coupled it with a grilled cheese sandwich and I am now thoroughly satisfied and watching the snow fall here in PA. THANK YOU SOOOO much for the recipe. I look forward to more.
I just made this tonight from all fresh ingredients. I even made my own version of garam masala (looked up the ingredients). I eat in the Paleo style so I try to make sure everything I eat is never processed through a manufacturing plant.
But I digress….. this soup is fabulous! I love it, my family loves it, and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I just made this tonight… Sooooo yummy. I substituted vegetable stock for half the water and blended all of the soup so my hubby wouldn’t know cauliflower was in it. It’s kind of amazing.
Aren’t you sneaky! I’m guessing he didn’t notice!
Yum..I just made your soup…. All made from fresh ingredients, I just added one thing… Vegetable stock (powder) an all natural one …nothing sinister in it….. Thanks for the recipe.. :-)
Delicious!!!! I rarely leave comments but this one deserves it! Yuuuum! I didn’t have the spice mixture at home. I googled the ingredients and put in whatever it called for that I had in my house. I blended up all the ingredients, thought my family would enjoy it better that way– they did!!! And I love that’s is so healthy! All natural ingredients!! Thanks for posting this!

I made this tonight. Super good. thank you so much!
Made this tonight after finding the recipe on Pinterest. All fresh ingredients and using vegetable stock instead of water I still found it really bland. I kept adding things to try and give it some flavour, adding some chilli flakes and grated nutmeg. This made it palatable but as I have a large pot of it I think I might be adding some curry paste to try and increase the flavour. So sorry to give a negative comment after all the positive ones.
