It really doesn't take much to create a soup that's creamy without using an ingredient like thickened cream. It's amazing what veggies can do on their own. I know what you're thinking, but cauliflower is smelly! Haha, and yes it does have a strong smell when it's stored (not so much whilst cooking), not appealing, but hey, get over it, as this vegan cauliflower soup is really luscious.

How to make vegan cauliflower soup

This recipe is fairly simple both to make and with the ingredients needed. Here's the step by step instruction;

Prepare all your ingredients (mis en place):
Cut cauliflower into small florets, set aside
Peel and cut potato into small chunks, set aside
Peel and dice onion into small pieces, set aside
Peel and slice in half garlic cloves
Measure out, salt, onion powder and water, set aside
Put your creamy cauliflower soup together:
In a tall pot, over high heat, add potato, onion and garlic, salt, onion powder with coconut cream and bring to the boil
Once boiling, turn heat down to medium heat and add cauliflower
Top contents with water, just under the cauliflower (not submerged)
Cook ingredients until cauliflower can be easily cut with a knife. About 5 minutes or so
Transfer contents to a blender and blender well together
Serve warm

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.

It's always a good idea to enjoy fresh bread with soup. Here's my recipe for dinner rolls which are the perfect rip apart bread to dunk into this soup.
