Winter is coming and we are making a lot of soups and stews lately. This recipe is so light and simple and although cauliflower is not one of our favorite veggies, we really enjoy this amazing soup. If you don't like cauliflower, add some powerful spice like curry and you won't notice the flavor.
I like to have my soups with some healthy carb like brown rice, millet, quinoa or sweet potatoes and also with some greens. I've been obsessed with kale, especially with a new super easy kale side recipe I really love. You just need to steam your kale and add some healthy fat like tahini or oil, garlic powder and tamari or soy sauce. It's the bomb!
Tips:
- Use any non refined oil you want.
- Add more or less liquid to make your soup more or less creamy.
- Feel free to add or substitute any veggie or ingredient.
- The nutritional yeast is optional, but it gives the soup a cheesy flavor. If you can't find it, use some brewer's yeast instead or even some beer.

This was quick and easy to make. I think it's delicious, and it could easily be augmented with different toppings or add-ins. I wonder if the flavor might be enhanced by roasting the cauliflower before adding it to the soup.
Iosune says
Hi Gayle! I'm SO glad you liked it 🙂 I prefer this simpler version, but you can roast the cauliflower beforehand if you want. Have a nice day!
Patricia Pascale says
Holy moly this was fabulous in so many ways. Firstly, this soup came together amazingly quick! Secondly, oh my gosh was this delicious!!! Thirdly, plant based goodness with wholesome ingredients!
The only thing I omitted from the recipe was the oil to fry the onion/garlic otherwise I made as written. Definitely a keeper. So many other recipes use potato as well but I didn’t have any and I wanted just cauliflower. Thank you, thank you!!
Iosune says
Hi Patricia! Thanks a lot for your kind words. So glad you liked it!
Hilly says
Hiya, It's Hilly here, in the UK. This has become one of our very fave soups this winter. It's creamy and comforting and we have it at least once a week. I have to be honest and say that in this house ALL the ingredients get thrown in to our instant pot and it gets cooked for 6 mins on pressure. This includes a bag of frozen cauli, if we don't have fresh, and it's still delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe and keep 'em coming! Have a Very Happy and peaceful Christmas everyone.
Iosune says
Hi Hilly! So glad you like it so much 🙂 Happy Christmas to you too!

June says
Very ez and tasty 😋, thank you.
I added a drop of plain yogurt in the center of soup. My son who's extremely careful with what he eats, ask me for the recipe.
Iosune says
Hi June! Sounds great 🙂 SO glad you guys liked it!
Serena says
if I use coconut milk should I use the stuff from the box or from the can? The recipe isn't very specific about the plant milk.
Iosune says
Hi Serena! You could use both as long as they unsweetened 🙂 Pretty much any plant milk will do, though. Have a nice day!
Serena says
Thanks for the response 🙂 I’m about to start cooking now!
Iosune says
Hope you enjoyed it 🙂

Just made this and it was delicious and so easy and creamy! Couldn’t find my immersion blender but used a standard blender and it worked great. Excellent recipe! It’s like a bisque…so thick and rich without any cholesterol! We loved it. Thank you!

Hi April! SO glad you guys loved it 🙂

Leslie says
Love it! I sliced some onion and mushrooms, sauteed them until they were crispy, folded in some vegan smoked gouda, then topped with the mushrooms, onions, croutons, smoked paprika and parsley. Delicious!
Iosune Robles says
Sounds so good 🙂 Thanks for your comment!

I just made this, and it is downright delicious! The only thing I added was fresh rosemary. Will definitely make it again!
