This was really wonderful! Wanted to mention a little substitution that I did, which was instead of the coconut milk to use a cup of fat-free half-and-half, a half tablespoon of cornstarch, and a quarter teaspoon of coconut extract (usually found next to the vanilla extract in the supermarket.) Experts seem to go back and forth about whether coconut milk is healthy or unhealthy, but since I knew I’d be eating ALL the soup myself over several days, I decided to be conservative about my saturated fat intake.
I also used a thawed 16-ounce bag of frozen cauliflower instead of fresh, and that was just fine!
Thank you so much for your comment Bill! Such a great substitute for the coconut milk and thawed frozen cauliflower is most times a good alternative to fresh and works perfectly in this recipe. Ok, going to make a confession here, I also ate ALL the soup (over several days, of course) when I developed this recipe. It was soooo good! Thanks for stopping by Swirls. Keep making delicious memories!
This soup is absolutely delicious! I doubled the curry because I LOVE curry but otherwise I followed the recipe as is. Very, very tasty! I will be making this again!
I am so happy to hear this Connie! Thank you for stopping by Swirls, for making my recipe and for taking the time to message me. I truly appreciate you following my blog and wish you happy times in the kitchen! Savor the Moment, Gwynn
