Red pepper flakes give this vegan roasted spicy purple cauliflower soup some heat. It is hearty and filling thickened with purple fingerling potatoes.
It can take me a couple days to finalize my grocery list.
Yes, I know that seems like a ridiculous amount of energy.
When I do get to the store, usually all that time doesn’t even matter. Without fail, something I have my heart set on will be out of stock.
And that missing item will be a key ingredient in a recipe.
But my shopping trip can go the opposite way, too.
I will find something that I never planned to buy that day, and it immediately becomes the must-have item I absolutely can’t live without.
Actually, that happened to me on my last trip.
Across the produce department I spied cauliflower in every color—white, orange, green and purple.
Rainbow cauliflower is the first thing that came to my mind, but instead I settled on just purple.
I put two heads into my cart along with purple fingerling potatoes.
My color-coded shopping resulted in this roasted spicy purple cauliflower soup.
No matter the hue, this simple vegan soup turns out hearty and filling.
First, I toss the cauliflower on a sheet pan with olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
Then I roast it at 375 degrees F until the cauliflower is lightly browned at the edges.
The red pepper flakes are what gives the soup some heat.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, I get to work on the stovetop.
I sauté chopped onions in a saucepan with minced garlic and more red pepper flakes.
After that, I add the cauliflower, diced purple potatoes and water.
I use water instead of veggie stock for aesthetic reasons because I don’t want to take away the purple color from the cauliflower and potatoes.
The soup simmers for just 10 minutes.
Finally, I puree it in the blender.
I top each bowl with some of the roasted cauliflower that I set aside.

*If you have white, orange or green cauliflower, use a white onion instead of red.
