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.

Hi Joe! Thanks a lot 😀 I’m so glad you liked it!
Fed this tonight to my husband who is battling a head cold. “Hits the spot!” was his comment! This is a great recipe. Very simple, but tastes and presents like something much richer. Mine came out thick and wonderfully creamy (I used plain rice milk). I topped it with snipped chives and vegan “bacon.” Oh yeah….yum!

Hi Veronica! So glad you and your husband enjoyed our soup 🙂
I just made this soup and tagged it on instagram. Its everything I hoped for and more! I topped with some peas, red pepper flakes, cholula sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan ( I know that is not vegan but I am not vegan so I added it, tastes great without the parmesan too)
Hi Vishakha! So glad you liked it 🙂 Have a nice day!
Thank you Simple Vegan for another simple, tasty and healthy recipe! I didn’t have a whole cauliflower so I added potato and broccoli as substitutes (thank you for adding that in your tips!) and it was still great!
Thanks again!

Hi Anne-Marie! Thanks a lot 🙂 SO glad you liked it!
Delicious! I’ve been eating vegan for 30 days now (my son talked me into trying for health reasons) and I’ve been trying to keep my meals tasteful and delicious. Each week I’ve been looking for new recipes to try until I develop a few staple meals. I love cream soups and decided to try this since I had a head of cauliflower in the fridge. I used the optional nutritional yeast (which I’d never had) and boy was I ever pleased! I love the creamy texture and the flavor is so good! All I added to the recipe was a few broccoli florets that I had in the fridge.
Hi Wanda! Sounds amazing 🙂 I’m so glad you liked it! Eating vegan is super healthy, easy and also really delicious.
I’ve made it quite a few times and it is DELICIOUS! It’s a hit here with the entire family and friends. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Hi Rebecca! You’re so welcome 🙂 I’m so glad you liked it!
My whole family loved it, even my soup-hating five year old! Easy and delicious! We added fresh thyme for flavor.

Hi Kristen! So glad you guys liked it so much 🙂 Have a nice day!
How much is a serving for the cauliflower soup?
Would curry or smoked Peprika be good on it?
This soup is absolutely delicious. I am very picky… I have tried many recipes that I did not like. I really like the simplicity of this recipe.
