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.

Simple, quick and delicious. This will be my go to cauliflower soup recipe. Perhaps it would help if you added a weight for the amount of cauliflower as they vary so much in size?
Iosune Robles says
500 gr, more or less 🙂
Jenny says
So good, and so easy! Perfect for a weeknight meal. I only had half a head of cauliflower, and wanted to add some protein, so I added half a can of Navy beans, and it turned out great! Thank you for this easy, delicious recipe.
Iosune Robles says
So glad you liked it Jenny 🙂 Have a nice day!
CJ says
Wonderful, healthy recipe. I make this on Sunday to take for my lunches during the week. Thanks so much for sharing!

Lorelei Giddings says
I made this with almond milk, potatoes, kale, and a de-seeded habenero. Really great taste and texture.
Iosune Robles says
Wow! That sounds amazing 🙂
Sue says
Really easy to make and tasty!
Iosune Robles says
Hi Sue! So glad you liked it 🙂
Dee says
I've made this at least 1/2 dozen times exactly as written. Tonight, after putting the onion and garlic in the pot, I realized I only had vanilla oat milk. So, I put in 3.5 cups of water and a small can (5.4 oz) of coconut cream. I think it's the best version I've made yet. I also always add frozen broccoli or frozen California blend (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower).
Iosune Robles says
Sounds so good 🙂 So glad you liked our vegan cauliflower soup!
Laura B. says
Delicious and easy to make!
Iosune Robles says
Thanks Laura 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Daphne Goulter says
Oh WOW, just WOW!!! This recipe was so, so, easy and simple to make.
I thought, oh its too simple. Its going to be bland. I didn't add or change anything! (I used Soy plant milk)
I'm Vegan, but my partner isn't. He tried it, and his eyes lit up. He had a serve, and then came back for more.
This is a truly beautiful tasting soup. I'll be making it regularly.
Thanks Iosune

Hi! So glad you and your partner liked our soup 🙂 Thanks for writing to us!
Heather says
A tasty, delicious soup with simple ingredients. I added a potato to the pot at the same time as the cauliflower to make it creamy and instead of the nut milk I added a cup of almond yoghurt that needed using up. Will definitely be using this recipe again. I found it din't even need toast or bread as it was very satisfying on its own.
Iosune Robles says
Hi Heather!! It is great to know you liked it so much! Thank you!! 🙂
Chris says
I make cauliflower soup like this. I also use it as my base for any other creamy soup. Cook carrots with the cauliflower & it looks cheesy. Add some extra sharp cheese or nutritional yeast. Then add broccoli if you like.
Iosune says
Hi Chris! Sounds great, but I would use nutritional yeast because I'm a vegan 🙂
Marty says
I am making this now. Will let you know how I liked it. Used coconut milk, some sweet peppers and ginger. What cracks me up is the 5 minutes prep time! Really? I’ve been working for an hour. A little larger quantity, but.....
Iosune says
Hi Marty! The prep time is the time you need to chop the veggies, the cooking time is 25 minutes as you can see in the recipe box 🙂
Helen says
Absolutely delicious and easy recipe. Used crispy fried onions as a garnish.
Only suggestion with regard to size of cauliflower head. Some are bigger than others. I used 2/3 of mine.
Iosune says
Hi Helen! Thanks a lot 🙂
Linda says
I’ve tried it with other vegetables (broccoli, squash), different roasted nuts and sunflower seeds, chick peas, and other beans. The original recipe is my favorite, but I like to experiment.
Iosune says
Hi Linda! Thank you so much for your comment 🙂
Lisa says
This looks fantastic but I am wondering about the nutritional information as I am always trying to keep track of protein. 13 grams of protein per serving seems high for the listed ingredients(?)
Iosune says
Hi Lisa! I'm not a nutritionist, I just use a web to calculate the nutritional info 🙂 Maybe it was a mistake. I use this web: https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076
Mary Beth Hegedus says
I added 2 potatoes and a little extra broth & milk with the cauliflower, & boosted the omega-3s by adding 1.5 tbsp. flax meal with the nutritional yeast. Yum!
Iosune says
Hi Mary Beth! Sounds great 🙂
Donna says
We really enjoye the ricipe. I made a double recipe and froze some. Thank you
Iosune says
Hi Donna! So glad you guys enjoyed it 🙂
Michele says
Delicious recipe! I added sliced ginger and 1 tsp of Turmeric. Thank you so much for the recipe~
Iosune says
Hi Michele! Sounds great 🙂 Thank YOU!
Kirsten says
I have made this recipe many times now and it's always a hit with my family. I like to add a little extra seasoning and cook some bigger pieces of cauliflower to be added after everything is blended. So easy and so delicious! Highly recommend!
Iosune says
Hi Kirsten! So glad you guys enjoy it 🙂 Thanks a lot!
