Curried Cauliflower Pumpkin Soup - Low Carb, Keto, LCHF, Grain-free, Gluten-free, Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Paleo
Comfort food does not always have to be covered in cheese or sour cream, though I would argue to you that those ingredients are generally pretty fabulous. Now that we are in holiday overload, I find myself making some bad choices or over-doing it at meals. It’s an eating marathon, and don’t get me wrong, I’m all in, but at some point, I have to take a breather.
This Curried Cauliflower Pumpkin Soup marries all those fall and winter flavors but with whole, healthy ingredients. It’s natural lower in carbs, gluten-free, and dairy-free with the use of full-fat coconut milk. This is a dump and go kind of recipe with minimal attention needed. Savor, spicy, and comforting, this soup warms you from the inside out and feels like a clean “break” from all the temptation with whole, real-food ingredients.

Some tips, tricks, and take-aways about the Coconut Milk Cauliflower Soup recipe and process:
Ingredients can be roughly chopped; don’t waste time perfecting. Because the soup is blended before serving, feel free to do a rough chop on everything. I don’t agonize about making sure my ingredients are perfect, just roughly the same size.
An immersion blender or standard counter blender works fine for blending. Use whatever you have on hand to blend the soup. Believe it or not, I do not own a fancy Vitamix blender, so I’m happy with using my immersion blender for this soup. If you do use a traditional countertop blender, just be careful with blending hot soup! Don’t overfill the carafe and leave some space, otherwise you’ll have a hot soup explosion. You’ve been warned. I’m not paying the medical bill for your scalding.
What do you serve with Dairy-free Cauliflower Soup?
This soup is absolutely tasty on its own, but my husband would argue to you that soup by itself is not a meal. If you are looking for something to round out your meal, consider the following options:
- Cheddar Chive Biscuits
- Keto Irish Soda Bread
- Tirokafteri with Radishes or Keto Crackers

This was so delicious and satisfying... I went back and looked at your picture and it looked like it was topped with some cilantro, bean sprouts and pepitas! I did not see those in the ingredient list. But on my leftovers I’m definitely going to add the cilantro and potatoes because I always have that at the house. My husband would enjoy this as well but I would need to add a protein. I think some slready sautéed shrimp put in at serving time would be perfect!
Not potatoes... pepitas !
