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.

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!

This was a solid cauliflower soup, but nothing as amazing as the reviews had me think going in. The nutritional yeast is essential in my opinion for flavor. Much better with added toppings.

Wow! What a treat—-and transformation of the humble cauliflower! I added chili flake, adobo chili, carrot, celery and fresh rosemary. Thank you for this yummy recipe! Delicious surprise!

Hi Mary! Sounds so good 🙂
Karen Rodriguez says
Thank you🙏 Loved the recipe. To thicken it up I added 3 potatoes and for a touch of exotic flavor a handful of fresh curry leaves. It made the soup incredibly hardy. Topped it with a few chives and a sprinkle of lemon juice. Yummm

I made this soup before we went away to use up items in fridg. Followed your recipe but added more of the liquids cuz in the end I threw in cooked leftover egg noodles.
With the cauliflower I added finely chopped carrots. I added an opened half jar of salsa. Used dried dill. It turned out great! TY
Alison Laurier says
I am not a vegan but I love so many of the vegan recipes! This soup is just so delicious. I loved it and so does my husband. I found another cauliflower soup recipe (not vegan) but it used a whole stick of butter. ugh. I like that this soup is so healthy and cauliflower is so good for you! Thanks for a great recipe. I'll be looking for more on your site!

Love this recipe! I used mushroom broth, frozen riced cauliflower, oat milk and dried porcini mushrooms as a substitute for the nutritional yeast. Very savory. Had steamed carrots with it. Even leftover cranberry sauce went well with it. Fast and easy to make.

This Recipe is ridiculously good. I have probably made it over 30 times and it will continue to be a staple in my dinner rotation. The peas are definitely a nice Topping along with some red flake peppers. Try it out! I promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks so much for this recipe!!!

I am dumbfounded….this recipe is one of the best soup recipes I’ve ever had. I can’t believe how creamy it is. I used frozen riced cauliflower instead (one bag was already seasoned) and unflavored almond milk. Wow, keeping this recipe forever. Delish!

If the recipe only calls for a 1/2 tspn. of salt, why is the salt content so high per serving? I really don't know how this stuff is measured, but it just seems high to me for so little salt added. Thanks for the recipe!

Hello, Does this recipe freeze well? I have 4 heads of cauliflower and love to have "make aheads" in my freezer and I am a souper girl LOL!
Iosune Robles says
Hi! Yes, feel free to freeze it 🙂
Judy says
Easy and delicious. I seasoned with garlic and onion powder and Tony Chachere's (no salt). I also added sweet potato and broccoli. The nutritional yeast made it delicious!
Iosune Robles says
Sounds so good! So glad you liked it!
Mary Anne says
Which would work better, soy or almond milk (unsweetened)? I’m assuming that coconut milk might be too sweet.
Iosune Robles says
Hi! Both will work well 🙂 I prefer soy but that's up to you!

Lisa says
Cover the kettle when cooking the soup? Or do you want liquid to boil and escape?
Iosune Robles says
Hi Lisa! Feel free to cover it but it's not necessary!
Eliana DeLevie-Orey says
Hi! I know this is a strange question for a vegan recipe, but... can I replace the plant milk with regular milk? Thanks!
Iosune Robles says
Hi Eliana! We don't use non-vegan milk so I don't know if this recipe will work with it! Even so, I encourage you to use vegan milk 🙂
