Description

A creamy and comforting vegan cauliflower soup made with sautéed onions, garlic, cauliflower florets, and full-fat coconut milk, simmered in low-sodium vegetable broth and blended to a luscious smooth texture. Perfect as a warm, dairy-free, and wholesome meal.


Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced

Liquids & Broth

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for sautéing)

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop the onion and garlic finely. Cut the cauliflower head into smaller florets for even cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Cauliflower: Stir in the cauliflower florets and cook together with the onions and garlic for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to slightly soften and absorb flavors.
  4. Simmer Soup: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
  5. Blend Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and puree until creamy.
  6. Finish and Serve: Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk thoroughly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Heat gently until warmed through and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture.
  • Low-sodium vegetable broth helps control the salt level to your preference.
  • An immersion blender makes blending easier and less cleanup, but a standard blender works just as well.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika before serving.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freezes well for up to 1 month.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more broth if too thick or simmering longer if too thin.
