    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.

      I made this cauliflower soup this evening, following the recipe exactly. I topped it with some chopped chives and chopped toasted cashew nuts. It was soup perfection!

      I never leave reviews - this actually might be my first one for a recipe. But AMAZING and so easy to make. I added more vegetable broth and almond milk (because I'm a dummy and left it on the stove longer than 15-20 minutes it needed to be), but still so so so good. I'm amazed at how creamy it came out.

      I cannot pin this recipe, I have the pin button but it isnt grabbing any pictures from the page. I wish you had some pin button somewhere on the page! I'm on mobile, so it may be a mobile only issue.

      This recipe was amazing, couldn’t believe how good it is. I have had to omit oils in my diet and have found frying onions in a little water very successful. I need to watch it until the water is evaporated and the onions get browned a little which gives a great taste.

      I made this yesterday in my Instant Pot (5 minutes on the Manual setting...it probably would work with even less time). It was so delicious and easy to make! I did make a few changes based upon what I had on hand:
      I used some onion powder (about a tablespoon?) because I'm out of onions.
      I threw in a generous handful of unsalted raw cashews because I didn't have any plant based milk. (I used water to replace the liquid of the milk measurement.) The cashews softened as the cauliflower pressure cooked in the IP, and turned into cashew milk when I blended the soup in my Vitamix after cooking.
      I had roasted garlic cloves on hand, so I used those instead of raw garlic.
      This thick, creamy soup is so comforting and satisfying! I ended up eating a few extra spoonsful because I couldn't leave it alone (since it is mostly cauliflower, I didn't feel too guilty). My husband and brother both loved the soup, too, and said I need to keep this recipe. I will certainly be making this recipe again and again. Thank you so much for sharing it!

        There's something wrong with the website; I made sure that I clicked on the 5-Stars before I clicked on Submit Comment button, but I don't see the stars next to my review above.
        As long as I'm posting again, I'll add that the other change that I made to your recipe was to omit the oil. I generally water sauté onions in an effort to reduce the fat in our meals. Since I was out of onions (which I substituted onion powder for), and I used roasted garlic instead of raw, there was no need for me to use the oil. Since I used cashews, we still got fat in the soup anyway.

      We made this a few weeks ago, and my whole family loved it. I love how easy it is to make and how creamy it tastes. I'm making a double batch today for us and a family who is in need in the area. Its healthy, hearty and simple. Thank you for the fantastic recipe.

      So easy to make and delicious, too! I don't particularly care for nutritional yeast so I substituted a handful of raw cashews and increased the cooking time so they would easily blend. Worked out great. Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!
