This past week, Ottawa has been in a deep freeze. And I don’t mean a little cold. I mean COLD.

Like, your skin can freeze if it’s not covered, cold…wind chill factors ranging between -30 and -40, cold.

This is a screenshot of the cold weather forecast around the time this Cauliflower Sweet Potato Carrot Soup was made.

So it’s no joke. Cold weather like this and I are not friends. Never have been, never will be. BUT, I live in Ottawa, so what can I do?

Not much.

It’s a fact that I’m going to experience weather like this each winter, so this is how I choose to deal with winter and cold weather:

  • Layers and layers of clothing when I go out.
  • Quick trips. No spending unnecessary time outside.
  • Daydream about summer and booking a vacation for a hot destination next winter.
  • Blankets, books, snacks, and Netflix.
  • And soup. Delicious, hot soup.

Do you have extremely cold winters where you live? How do YOU get through?

So I basically turn into a live-under-my-blankets-soup-eating hermit when the weather is like this. And I’m totally OK with that.

When I make soup, if it’s a soup that can be made in the slow cooker, it gets huge bonus points. Like this curried cauliflower sweet potato soup.

I drew inspiration for this recipe from my butternut squash sweet potato carrot soup. Both recipes have a few common ingredients, they’re both made in the slow cooker, they look pretty much the same, but that is where the similarities end.

Both soups have totally different flavours but are both equally delicious.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can adjust the spices, mainly the curry, to suit your tastes.

And you can garnish whichever way you like. I like to add a little spoon of coconut milk to the top and swirl it around to make it pretty, like in the pictures, but feel free to top how you like.

Some ideas:

  • Croutons
  • Fresh chopped parsley
  • Fresh chopped cilantro
  • Fresh chopped chives
  • Chopped roasted cauliflower
  • A light dusting of curry powder

So whether or not it’s ridiculously cold where you live or you’re just craving soup, OR if you’re simply looking for an easy, fix-it-and-forget-it slow cooker meal, this curried cauliflower sweet potato soup is just what you need.

    Hello! I accidentally added the coconut milk in the slow cooker. Do you think it will be okay?

      Hi Katelyn, I answered your question by email, but jsut in case anyone else is wondering the same thing, I’ll answer here as well:

      Hmm, I’m not quite sure what will happen (I haven’t made it this way before), but I think that it will be just fine. Coconut milk is usually added at the end because there’s a chance it will curdle with either very high heat or an acidic ingredient, but I think it will be fine since you are slow cooking and there are no acidic ingredients in the recipe, plus, if it does happen to curdle for whatever reason, you will be blending it at the end. Please let me know how things turn out when it finishes!

    Is it ok to add the cumin and curry at the beginning? Seems like it would be more flavorful. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I hope to this week. It sounds great!

      Hi Jennifer! Yes, not a problem to add the spices at the beginning, it’s my preference to add them at the end but it won’t affect the recipe in any way if you add at the start. After blending, taste it and adjust as needed ๐Ÿ™‚ I hope you like the soup, let me know how it goes ๐Ÿ™‚

    Could you just use regular milk instead of coconut?

      Hi Dana, the coconut milk is thick so it keeps the soup on the thicker side. Regular milk (non-dairy or not) would thin the soup out a bit. You can use it, but keep that in mind. The soup won’t be as thick. Hope this helps!

      Thanks for letting me know, Eulanda! I’m glad to hear you liked it! It’s a different kind of combo but I love how the flavours work together (and I’m glad you do too ๐Ÿ™‚ )
