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.

Wanda says
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.
Iosune says
Hi Wanda! Sounds amazing 🙂 I'm so glad you liked it! Eating vegan is super healthy, easy and also really delicious.
