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.

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!

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)
Iosune says
Hi Vishakha! So glad you liked it 🙂 Have a nice day!

I used coconut oil instead of olive oil and left the garlic out - It tasted great!
Lovely recipe.

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!
Iosune says
Hi Suzy! I'm so glad you liked it 🙂 Hope your husband is better. Have a nice day!
