I have been eating healthier lately. How about you? No matter your diet approach is, I bet this low carb cauliflower curry soup is for you!
It’s our latest weeknight meal creation which is wholesome, full of flavor, and can be prepared in 30 minutes.
And more… yes, it’s vegan, paleo, vegetarian, gluten-and-dairy-free, and even Whole30.
A miracle in a pot! 😉 Don’t believe me? Well, check it out!
It all started with a visit from my sister during the holidays. She shed more than 70 pounds and got into the habit of eating healthy all year long.
She really made me rethink my eating habits, I’ve gotta say.
Since then, I have been continuing to exercise but I have also introduced more healthy foods into my daily diet — hoping to lose some weight and feel energized without starving myself.
Good news! I’ve shed 2 pounds in the past week.
I am just grinning from ear to ear and I’ve got a plan to continue losing those extra pounds that I put on over the years.
When I cooked this cauliflower curry soup I knew that tastiness was not something to compromise on…
… otherwise it would be hard to continue eating healthy and satisfying my family’s demanding taste buds.
To my children and husband’s surprise, the soup was not only good but plate-licking delicious. A real victory for this cook!
And you know what? The recipe is freaking simple.
HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER CURRY SOUP
To make this curry soup, all I had to do is stir-fry fresh cauliflower…
…carrots, and a slice of jalapeno. Then, sweat an onion and garlic in vegetable oil, stir in spices, tomato sauce, broth, and seasonings.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, covered.
Next, blend with coconut milk in a blender until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and serve with chopped cilantro or parsley while it is still hot.
Folks, it just can’t get any easier than that!
I accompanied this Cauliflower Soup with toasted baguette slices, but you can serve yours by itself or…
… depending on your dietary needs/wants/restrictions, you can garnish with cooked seafood, tofu or shaved Parmesan, cooked rice noodles, eggs, etc.
It’s up to you!
This means you can come home from a tiresome day at work and still fix yourself or your family a healthy meal without all the stress and the time usually required.
You are making magic in the kitchen, hon! Your body will thank you… and the scale will be your new friend! 🙂
Making your life (and mine) simple is my mission. 😉
