Made with simple ingredients, anyone can follow the easy steps and cook this delicious vegan soup. This cauliflower soup recipe is packed with healthy veggies, lots of flavor and love. And cauliflower is of course the main ingredient and the star.
250mlvegan cooking creamI use "creamy oat" from Oatly
20gall-purpose flour
saltto taste
Parsley Oil Garnishing (optional)
2-3 handfulsfresh parsleyone store-bought plant
½tspextra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Roughly chop the yellow onions.
Cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces (about 3x3 cm).
Take a large soup pot (at least 3,5 liters). Add in 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and bring to medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and fry for about 2-3 minutes.
While the onions are frying, bring the water to a boil in a separate pot or using a kettle. Add the vegetable broth to the boiling water (if using a kettle to boil the water mix the water and vegetable broth in a separate bowl or measuring jug).
Add the cauliflower and the water with vegetable broth to the pot with the onions.
Bring to a boil, and boil the cauliflower on medium heat until soft. This takes about 30 minutes.
Take out about half of the cauliflower, and add to a bowl - set to the side.
Add the nutritional yeast to the pot with the cauliflour, onion and veggie broth. Use a hand held immersion blender to puree these ingredients. Then, pour the puree over to a large bowl, and set to the side.The nutritional yeast gives your soup that little hint of a cheesy flavor.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegan butter to the now empty large pot and bring to medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and use a whisk to mix the melted butter and flour well. Then add the vegan cream and whisk together until it thickens (this will only take a couple of minutes). Then, add the pureed mix to the pot and heat it up.You can also use other types of non-dairy milk as substitues, like almond milk and oat milk. However, I do find that the vegan cream types gives the soup that extra full and creamy texture.
Salt the soup to taste.'
Add the cooked cauliflour that you removed earlier to the soup.
Garnish with fresh herbs like fresh parsley to add a splash of color when serving it.
Garnish with fresh parsley oil
You can see how I do this at the end of the recipe video below:
Set a few parsley leaves to the side. Then add the rest of the fresh parsley to a mortar and grind until all of the parsley is crushed and juicy.
Add the crushed parsley to a small sieve that you hold over a small bowl, and use a teaspoon to squeeze the parsley against the sieve. The small bowl will be filled with fresh parsley juice.
Add the olive oil to the fresh parsley juice and mix.
Portion the soup into soup plates. Use a teaspoon to carefully drizzle some parsley oil over the soup. Then take a knife and run it carefully through the parsley. Add some small fresh parsley leaves for decoration.
