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.

Hello, Does this recipe freeze well? I have 4 heads of cauliflower and love to have "make aheads" in my freezer and I am a souper girl LOL!
Iosune Robles says
Hi! Yes, feel free to freeze it 🙂
Judy says
Easy and delicious. I seasoned with garlic and onion powder and Tony Chachere's (no salt). I also added sweet potato and broccoli. The nutritional yeast made it delicious!

Mary Anne says
Which would work better, soy or almond milk (unsweetened)? I’m assuming that coconut milk might be too sweet.
Iosune Robles says
Hi! Both will work well 🙂 I prefer soy but that's up to you!

Lisa says
Cover the kettle when cooking the soup? Or do you want liquid to boil and escape?
Iosune Robles says
Hi Lisa! Feel free to cover it but it's not necessary!
Eliana DeLevie-Orey says
Hi! I know this is a strange question for a vegan recipe, but... can I replace the plant milk with regular milk? Thanks!
Iosune Robles says
Hi Eliana! We don't use non-vegan milk so I don't know if this recipe will work with it! Even so, I encourage you to use vegan milk 🙂
