Exploring Flavors of Fall: Curried Cauliflower Soup with Apples
Cozy up to autumn with a seasonal spin on the classic creamy soup. This recipe calls for an array of flavors, from a hint of nuttiness in the cauliflower and sweetness of the apples, to the subtle heat of curry. Combined, the soup offers a savory-sweet dish that is perfect to enjoy with friends and family this fall.
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
2 teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 head cauliflower (2½ to 3 pounds), cut into small florets
1 tart yet sweet apple, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp, peeled and roughly chopped
6 cups (48 oz) low-sodium chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
⅓ cup heavy cream
Heaping ¼ teaspoon curry powder
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the curry powder and cinnamon and cook a few minutes more.
- Add the cauliflower, apple, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Purée the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches; see note.) Stir in the honey and heavy cream. Bring the soup to a simmer, and then taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more honey. (For a sweeter soup, you’ll need 2-3 tablespoons more honey). Keep the soup warm while you prepare the garnish.
- For the garnish, toss the diced apples with the curry powder. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a spoonful of curried apples.
- Note: If using a standard blender to purée the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
