As far as vegan soup recipes go…this one should be on your radar…
My vegan cauliflower soup recipe with roasted cauliflower, you will love it! it’s so creamy, super easy and tastes amazing!! It has a lovely hearty chowder consistency without the addition of potatoes and you’ll be hard pressed to believe it’s vegan!
You’ll be amazed that by just roasting the cauliflower, adding a few simple healthy whole food ingredients, carrots, celery, onions, spices, nutritional yeast and my secret flavour ingredient for vegetable stock- better than bouillon vegetable base!You end up with a healthy comforting bowl of cauliflower soup with top notch flavour!!
There’s no coconut milk, plant milk or cashews, just partially blending the soup creates such an amazing texture none of the cream options are needed!
Lovely for lunch or a lite dinner. Great family meal! Perfect cozy soup for fall, winter or anytime really!Mydaughter says she wants my potato leek soup next - ahh!wow one at a time sweetie ❤️ lol
How to make Roasted Vegan Cauliflower Soup:
(for full recipe instructions and ingredients see recipe card at end of post)
Preheat oven to 425° Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
Slice the head of cauliflower down the middle lengthwise and cut out the core. Pull off the florets and cut into slices. Add to the baking sheet. Drizzle over the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together (I use my hands) and spread evenly on the sheet pan.
Bake for 35 minutes tossing halfway through cooking. When cool enough to handle give it all a rough chop
When the cauliflower is almost finished baking start the soup: Set your soup pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic, oil and pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes or so until veggies are softening.
Now add the water, bouillon, nutritional yeast, salt, spices and roasted cauliflower (reserve lemon juice until the end of cooking) Bring to a boil on high heat. Cover reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or so until the veggies are tender.
Remove 4 big ladles of soup (4-5 cups) and puree in blender. Pour back into soup. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the lemon juice. If soup is too thick add a splash or two of vegetable broth. Enjoy!
Serve with my no knead artisan bread for a tasty lunch or lite dinner!

Wow, the title sums the soup right up! Just Incredible! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I had to make a few simple substitutions as I didn't have the items on hand (ran out of carrots, so doubled the celery, and only had celery seed) but this was still crazzzzy delicious and wonderfully healthy to boot! Such depth of flavor. This is now definitely in the family soup rotation. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Okay… this was insanely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by how much flavor was packed into the soup with just a few ingredients. My immersion blender freaked out on me, so I left the soup almost entirely chunky, but I like more texture in soups so it worked out. 10/10 and I’ve already shared with my family.

I will definitely be making this soup for supper tonight but wanted to mention that this recipe is not gluten-free. The Better Than Bouillon product no longer claims to be GF as they make this in a facility where wheat is also used. As well, the yeast extract comes from a grain which has gluten.

This is delicous. Humble ingredients and a great flavor! My only change was to not add the lemon juice at the end. Just a personal preference , I have realized when I don't care for a recipe it's usually the lemon juice in it that is the reason. Other than that it was made per the recipe. I am definitely putting this in my rotation , and cauliflower will be purchased way more often! lol ( I had no idea I liked roasted cauliflower so much!) Thanks so much for sharing!

Made this last night and my wife and I both loved it. For some reason I was expecting something a bit creamier, but in the end I wasn't disappointed at all. Followed the recipe almost to the letter, with the exception of omitting the lemon juice (didn't need it), and adding the nutritional yeast at the end, just before serving. My understanding is that nutritional yeast should not be cooked.

Really enjoyed this! Added one diced red potato w an extra 1/2 c water as I knew my growing teen would like that. Used the roasted garlic better than bouillon, 4 1/2 tsp. Will make again!
