    Vegan cauliflower soup is a silky, creamy, delicious soup that is healthy and easy to make!  Paleo, gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free.  I love these cauliflower soups on cool evenings.

    How To Make Vegan Cauliflower Soup:

    Step 1 – Gather the ingredients.

    Step 2 – Cut the cauliflower and rinse the florets.

    Tip:  This brilliant video by Ina Garten shows how to cut your cauliflower in the best way.  See photos below as well.

    I like to use kitchen scissors to cut away some of the leaves.

    Then a good chef’s knife to easily cut away the stem to get to the florets.  My chef’s knife is one of my favorite kitchen utensils.

    I throw the florets in the soup pot since I’ll be using an immersion blender later to make smooth and creamy.

    My All-Clad pots were another wise investment and my favorite pots and pans.  They have lasted years!

    I purchased a set because it was a better deal (vs. individual pieces) and it was so worth it!

    Step 3 – Add olive oil to a soup pot, onions, some salt, and pepper, and saute for 3 minutes.  Then add the garlic and saute for another minute or two on medium-low heat.

    Step 4 – Add the cauliflower and simmer for about 30 minutes (until cauliflower is tender).

    Step 5 – Blend using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender until creamy and smooth.  I tend to leave a few chunks in my soup to give it some texture.

    Enjoy!

    Helpful Tips:

    1. In a pinch consider using frozen organic cauliflower or even riced cauliflower.
    2. For success using an immersion blender, make sure the head of the blender is immersed in soup liquid to avoid splatter.
    3. This soup is freezer-friendly.
