Tips to make the Best Vegan Cauliflower Soup

Chop up your vegetables into small sized chunks to speed up & minimise boiling.

To ensure it is thick & creamy; do not fully submerge your veggies, instead fill the water line to be around 1-2cm under the ingredients.

To water down your soup, add more water, salt and onion powder little bits at a time until you achieve the creamy consistency you'd like your soup to be.

To make the cauliflower soup smooth - use a blender and not a held mixer. The result is truly smooth. When using a blender it's best to start & end with pulsing - this will make sure all ingredients are blended.
