Creamy Cauliflower Soup makes a delicious and comfortingsoup recipe without a drop of cream! The garlic, onion, and cauliflower are blended together to create a dairy-free, creamy cauliflower soup recipe that everyone loves!
There is just something downright magical about this soup! It makes one of the creamiest, most comforting soups that you’d swear it included tons of cream and butter to make it so. But, in reality, it doesn’t have a drop. Not a single bit.
Creamy Cauliflower Soup Recipe
I love that I can feel good about serving this soup to those friends and family who have dairy sensitivities or who are following a Paleo, Whole 30, or similar lifestyle. Light and absolutely luscious, this is one soup recipe that is always a favorite!
How to MakeCreamy Cauliflower Soup Recipe
To make it, I drizzle olive oil into a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. I then add my onion and garlic to the olive oil and cook just for about a minute before I stir in my vegetable broth and cauliflower. Then, I cover the pot and let it simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes.
Using my immersion blender, I blend until the cauliflower soup is thick and creamy and reaches the consistency that I am looking for. If too much liquid evaporated while the cauliflower was cooking, I add a little bit more vegetable broth until it is smooth and silky.
The garlic, onion, and cauliflower cook and then are blended together to make this incredibly creamy and delicious cauliflower soup that even those who aren’t huge fans of cauliflower enjoy. The flavors meld together perfectly with the vegetable broth to make this a soup that is perfectly balanced without the overly strong flavors of any of the three to be found.
While this soup is delicious anytime of the year, I think it is especially delicious as a starter for Thanksgiving. You can easily make it ahead of timeto make your entertaining even easier!
Here’s my Creamy Cauliflower Soup Recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do!
