Behold! Lusciously creamy, yet cream-less, cauliflower soup. This cauliflower soup recipe will absolutely satisfy your craving for warm, creamy soup—no cheese required.
I know “cauliflower soup” might not sound super appealing if you’ve never had it before. Trust me, it can be so delicious! Today, I’m sharing my favorite cauliflower soup recipe, and I can’t wait for you to make it at home.
My friend Tessa introduced me to cauliflower soup a few years ago. I loved it so much that I developed my own recipe for my cookbook, Love Real Food.
As the temps and leaves have dropped this fall, I’ve had a hankering for warm, creamy soups. So, I thought I’d share a slightly simplified version of my cauliflower soup for everyone to enjoy. Let’s make some!
Why You’ll Love This Cauliflower Soup
This soup calls for basic ingredients but yields amazing flavor. If you have a head of cauliflower in the fridge, you probably have everything else you’ll need.
This cauliflower soup is the perfect accompaniment to salads and sandwiches. This traditional cauliflower soup will go with just about any other fall or winter flavors, including butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and greens like arugula and kale. It’ll warm you up without weighing you down!
This soup freezes well for later. This recipe doesn’t yield a ton (about 4 medium bowls), but if you have extra, just freeze it!
This creamy soup is special diet-friendly. It’s gluten free as written. Check my recipe notes to learn how to make this soup vegan/dairy free by using cashews instead of butter.
How to Make the Best Cauliflower Soup
1) Roast Your Cauliflower
Behind that creamy beige exterior, you’ll find loads of irresistible roasted cauliflower flavor. Roasted cauliflower is key here—cauliflower develops caramelized notes with a greater depth of flavor as it roasts in the oven.
2) Build Flavor
Once your roasted cauliflower is almost done, you’ll sauté onions in a soup pot until tender, then add garlic and vegetable broth. Then, add your roasted cauliflower and simmer the mixture on the stove for about 20 minutes to meld the flavors.
3) Add Butter for Creaminess
You’ll transfer the contents of the pot to a blender and add butter. Butter is an easy way to add mega creamy, luxurious flavor and texture without any cream (I borrowed this technique from my butternut squash soup). If you’re like me, you always have butter in the fridge, but rarely heavy cream!
4) Blend Until Completely Smooth
I recommend blending this soup in a stand blender, rather than an immersion blender, because stand blenders yield the creamiest results. Fortunately, the ingredients used here are fairly soft, so even an inexpensive stand blender should work well (I used my fancy Vitamix, affiliate link). The final texture, in my opinion, is absolutely worth dirtying the blender bowl for.
5) Season with Nutmeg and Lemon Juice
We’re using small, subtle amounts of nutmeg and lemon juice here. You probably won’t be able to pinpoint them while you’re sipping your soup, but they offer a certain je ne sais quoi factor. They take this soup from great to fantastic!
6) Sprinkle Something Fresh on Top
I tried garnishing my soup with fresh parsley, green onion and chives. I loved them all and couldn’t pick a favorite, so use whichever you have on hand!

- Author: Cookie and Kate

- Yield: 4 bowls 1x
- Category: Soup
- Method: Roasted and blended

This cauliflower soup recipe is the best! Roasted cauliflower makes it taste amazing, and a little butter (instead of cream) makes it luxuriously creamy. Recipe yields 4 bowls of soup.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cut into bite-size florets
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Fine sea salt
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 4 cups (32 ounces) vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or more if needed
- Scant ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- For garnish: 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, chives and/or green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If desired, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- On the baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until lightly and evenly coated in oil. Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake until the cauliflower is tender and caramelized on the edges, 25 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.
- Once the cauliflower is almost done, in a Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and turning translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the broth.
- Reserve 4 of the prettiest roasted cauliflower florets for garnish. Then transfer the remaining cauliflower to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, to give the flavors time to meld.
- Once the soup is done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender, working in batches if necessary. (Do not fill past the maximum fill line or the soup could overflow!)
- Add the butter and blend until smooth. Add the lemon juice and nutmeg and blend again. Add additional salt, to taste (I usually add another ¼ to ¾ teaspoon, depending on the broth). This soup tastes amazing once it’s properly salted! You can also a little more lemon juice, if it needs more zing. Blend again.
- Top individual bowls of soup with 1 roasted cauliflower floret and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, green onion and/or chives. This soup keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about four days, or for several months in the freezer.
Notes
Recipe adapted from my cookbook, Love Real Food.
Make it dairy free/vegan: Use cashews instead of butter. Soak ¼Â cup cashews for 4 hours, then drain and rinse them (if you have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec, you can skip this). Add the cashews when you would add the butter.
Regan
Delicious and so easy!
Kate
Happy you think so, Regan! Thanks for your review.
Cheryl Johnson
Just finished making (and eating) this and it was absolutely delightful! Next time I will make a double batch because although I was making this for lunch this week, already half of it has disappeared! Thank you for the recipe!
Kate
This one has that power! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much, Cheryl. Thanks for your review!
Erika
Wow! Once again another deliciously created soup with minimal ingredients! 2nd recipe of yours that I have tried and wow can I say I love cauliflower now more than EVER! Thank you again for this healthy soup!
Kate
You’re welcome, Erika! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Audrey
My husband and I were incredibly surprised at how delightful this soup was. We ate the whole batch in one night… whoops!
We added a slight amount of cumin in with the onions, and used vegan European style butter.
Some croutons would just set this off perfectly.
Thank you for this wonderful, easy recipe!
Kate
I love it! Thanks for sharing, Audrey.
Anna
Hi Audrey, I love the fact that you used vegan butter, I want to do so myself. Which one did you use?
Cheers,
Anna
Audrey
I have fallen in love with Miyoko’s European Style Cultured Vegan Butter, absolutely recommend using for basically anything. It has a much nicer flavor and texture than more traditional vegan butter spreads.Enjoy!
Brenda
Just finished making this soup. Very quick and tasty. I’ll be making this again. Although I don’t have choices or onions right now it is still good, but yes I can see they will add a nice flavor for my next bowl.
Estelle Stehman
My daughter made this for a soup and salad birthday party. The rest eat animal products so she wanted something my husband and I could eat. We are vegan. There were three other soups available but not for us. This soup was so good. We enjoyed it and took the leftovers home.
Kate
I’m glad it was loved by all preferences! Thanks for your review, Estelle!
Oyin
So good and def freezes well! Roasted my cauliflower in an air-fryer to speed up prep time.
Kate
Thank you for sharing, Oyin!
Tyler
I made a big batch of this super delicious soup and froze it, and when it froze it turned pink! Did this happen for anyone else?
When defrosted and heated back up went back to the normal colour and still delicious!
Wondering if maybe it is a reaction with the lemon??
Karen
Wow! Wonderful recipe. This has been added to our meal rotation as the official partner for Thursday grilled cheese night :-) We too devoured every drop so don’t plan on leftovers unless you have great willpower!
Kate
Love to hear that, Karen! Thanks for your review.
Alice
Omg this was such a wonderful soup recipe! My kids loved it so much! I actually followed it except double the amount of sweet onions and carmlized it. I also used an immersion blender which helped make it much simpler! Thank you again!! I will be sharing this recipe again and again!
Kate
You’re welcome! I appreciate the review, Alice!
Amber Davis
I have made this soup 3x in the last 3 weeks! It is delicious- I added a little cayenne to give it a kick and used Vegan butter. It was perfect!
Simone Josephson
One of the best soups I’ve ever made. Loved it!
Kate
Thanks for your feedback, Simone!
Dee
What makes yours have a orange color. Did you add paprika?
Dee
Kate
It could be the vegetable broth and spices combination. I’m not sure it is orange, but it does have a color. :)
Frank Haggerty
This was my first recipe I made from Love real Food. I thoroughly enjoyed the soup! Much better than previous recipes I have followed! Great book!
Kate
Hooray! Thanks so much, Frank.
Michelle
Best roasted cauliflower soup ever! A great flavor combination. This is a keeper. Thank you!
Kate
Thank you, Michelle!
Dana
This was absolutely delicious. I recently started Keto and this was a great soup to get fats and veggies in. I will be making this often!
Kate
Thanks for your review, Dana!
Mary
This was DELICIOUS!! Thanks for sharing!!
Kate
You’re welcome, Mary!
Cadence
Delicious! Doubled the recipe and have lots for weekday lunches.
Kate
A great leftover soup! Thanks for your review, Cadence!
C. Mitchell
Thankyou for this recipe, its delicious!
I tweaked a couple of things; including roasting whole, unpeeled garlic cloves with the Cauliflower and then when it was time to add the vegetables together, I peeled then added them to the soup pot.
At the end, I skipped the lemon juice and added 1/2 cup of non-fat half and half to the soup.
I will definitely make this again!
Kate
Thanks for sharing, C!
Lauren
This soup was a hit! Picky kids loved it.. Super cook Hubby licked the bowl.. I’ll have to do it again!!
Kate
Parent win! I love it, Lauren.
Lisa~
i am absolutely blown away with this recipe! i love cauliflower but never expect much with any recipe i find. however i found using low sodium chicken stock *i’m not vegan* 3 cloves of garlic and a large red onion just NAILED this soup! i wish i’d have doubled the recipe , but i’ll do it next time. the whole family absolutely loved it and there’s no leftovers ;) thanks so much for a subtley delicious soup!!
Kate
Wonderful, Lisa! Thank you for your review.
Julie
Thank you so much for sharing. This was absolutely delicious and feels really wholesome after over-indulging over the New Year. I had family over for dinner and everyone loved it, even taking some for their lunch the next day.
Amanda
Can I make this with frozen cauliflower?
Tyler
I did and it turned out fine! Just had to roast the frozen cauliflower for a lot longer than I did when using normal cauliflower.
Bob S
Made this for dinner last night and followed the recipe as laid out. It turned out fabulous! Three of us polished it off completely. Great way to make use of that head of cauliflower sitting in the fridge and roasting it does bring out a wonderful, deep roasted flavor. Simply added humus and flat bread to make it a filling and satisfying meal.
Kate
I’m glad you loved it, Bob!
Bob Henry
Don’t understand the comment about adding hummus, did you add the hummus to the soup?
Michelle C.
Just got round to making this (it was marked as a future recipe-to-make from the excellent “Love Real Food” cookbook), and it was delicious! I was out of butter but had a small-medium avocado on hand that needed to be used up, so I blended that in (it didn’t seem to affect the color of the soup) and it seemed to work well. Another fantastic recipe from C+K!
Kate
Thank you, Michelle!
Bill
Followed your instructions with some small variations and the result was fantastic soup. I used up a cauliflower and broccoli head which were sleeping in my fridge and needed brought back to life. Very tasty and enjoyable.
Kate
Thank you, Bill!
Claire Sinclair
My sixteen year old daughter made it from her ‘Love Real Food’ Christmas gift and it was absolutely delicious. She’s enjoying cooking her way through the book and the rest of the family are loving the results. Thank you, Kathryne!
Kate
You’re welcome, Claire! Thanks for sharing.
ExpatInGermany
Yummy! If you don’t mind a suggestion, there’s no need to spend time cutting up the cauliflower. You can roast the entire thing. Nice for us lazy cooks…
Kate
Thanks for sharing!
Nikki
Gorge recipe thank you xx
Kate
You’re welcome, Nikki!
Corey
Made this tonight and it’s absolutely amazing!
Highly recommend it!
Kate
Thank you, Corey!
Mauricha
This is my go to soup recipe either when I’m craving creamy soup or have sone cauliflower in the fridge that I have no idea what to do (this recipe has also saved a ton of cauliflower going to the compost pile)
Kate
I’m glad you found this recipe then, Mauricha!
Brandy
Wow, this soup was absolutely delicious! Budget friendly, easy to make, minimal ingredients and I highly recommend this recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Kate
You’re welcome, Brandy! I’m excited to hear you loved it.
Lynn E Dalsing
I modified this and roasted the onion and garlic as well, and I added about a tablespoon of miso in while it was simmering away. So good.
Kate
Thanks for your review, Lynn!
Trish
WOW! We’re hooked! This is the best cauliflower soup we’ve ever made and eaten. The best part – super simple!! I’m no chef, though now I feel like one. Sharing this gem. Thank you.
Kate
I love it! Thanks for your feedback and review, Trish.
Jennifer
This was literally the best soup I have ever tasted!
Kate
I love to hear that! Thanks for the feedback, Jennifer.
wildredbill
Neither my wife or I are a fan of Cauliflower. We do eat it raw in salads. When my wife asked: “What are we having for supper?” I told her Cauliflower soup. At that point I get “that face” and a Yuck.
But after trying the soup she said: “This is good soup.” I concur. This is really creamy without the calories of cream. The flavor is outstanding.
Thank you Kate for a flavorful soup and a lesson in not prejudging a dish.
Kate
I’m glad she liked it! Thanks for your review.
Jenni and Chris
This soup is unbelievably delicious and a nutritional heavy hitter. The butter turns it into comfort food—have made multiple times and there is never enough.
Kate
I’m so glad you loved it, Jenni!
Jeza Postelle
Amazing soup, I love all things cauliflower and this recipe is perfect! Thank you for sharing!
Kate
You’re welcome, Jeza! Thanks for the review.
Tom
Absolutely delicious! Roasted 5 cloves of garlic with the cauliflower as one reviewer mentioned. Made this non-vegetarian with chicken broth and added a little cream. Scallions were a bit over powering, so with picked those out…will use chives next time. Thanks!
Kate
You’re welcome, Tom!
Kaaren Weyland
This is the second time that I am making your delicious soup! It’s amazing that you can have such a deep rich flavor simply by roasting the cauliflower and adding a bit of butter. I have put my own spin on the recipe simply by using some unusual salts which I have acquired through my travel. I flavor the roasted veggies with a smoked salt that I got in Peru. I also use a Bourbon Smoked Garlic Salt, just a pinch but it gives it just a little something else. I made your recipe to your specifications on the first time. Thanks for the great recipe! I am in the catering business and will be sure to share your blog with my clients.
Kate
You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing the C+K love, Karen!
Carrie
I was skeptical that it was really that good…. but it is so good!! I used 3 cubes chicken and 1 cube beef bouillon because that’s what I had on hand and followed the rest of the recipe. It is so delicious! I’m on WW and it comes out to 1 point per serving! What a wonderful way to use a point and fill up my belly! I’m sharing this one with all my friends and family!
Kate
I’m so excite it surpassed your expectations! Thanks for your review, Carrie.
Mary
Kate, this is a wonderful and very easy recipe. I’m always looking for dairy-free recipes, and when it comes to creamy soups, the choices can be limited. I simply used vegan butter in place of regular butter and it turned out great! And for anyone who may be doubtful about the addition of fresh lemon juice, don’t leave it out…..it really adds a brightness to the soup. So delicious! Thank you, Kate!
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Mary!
Alexia
That looks delicious. Roasting brings out a lot of great flavor in veggies. My mom used to make a similar soup back in the day, but added cream to it.
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Alexia!
Ryan
Making the cauliflower soup for the second time… roasting the garlic with the cauliflower this time… love the roasted depth of flavor. Loved the soup first time!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Kate
You’re welcome Ryan! Thanks so much for your review.
Toni Ann Ventorino
Before I make this recipe, I was wondering what brand of vegetable broth do you use for this soup? Is there a go to brand you use for your recipes?
Kate
Hi Toni! I’m not really that picky about the vegetable broth I use. I do try to buy organic when possible. Whole Foods 365 organic is pretty good.
Eesha
I love this recipe! Easy to make, not many ingredients and the perfect solution for a hassle free dinner. Thank you C+K
Kate
You’re welcome, Eesha!
Sue
Just made this soup today and this is incredible! Easy to prepare, smells so good and when I tasted to see if it needed anything else (I only added lemon juice) forget about it! It’s da bomb! I’m addicted. I agree with Cheryl, I’ll have to double recipe next time. Thanks for this delicious recipe. Since I love soups I’ll be trying more of your recipes.
Kate
Thank you, Sue! I’m so happy you love it and want to double it next time.
Jonathan Robinson
Excellent recipe!
Kate
Thank you, Jonathan!
Kathy
This soup was so good. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes when roasting the cauliflower.
Kate
I like that! Thanks for the review, Kathy.
Patty
SO DELICIOUS! My whole family loved it – even my little guy who doesn’t like veggies! Thank you so much for sharing – this will definitely became a regular!
Kate
That’s awesome, Patty! I’m so happy it was a hit. Thanks for the review!
Brigitte
Absolutely loved this soup. When I read that it was finished with nutmeg I knew it would be good. My grandmother always used nutmeg with cauliflower and she was a great cook. My only alteration was that I added some finely chopped roasted hazelnuts instead of greens at the end.
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Brigitte!
JackieLyn Anderson
I’m now making this soup a second time within a month.. it is so amazing and we absolutely love this recipe!! I did add mushrooms to the sautéed onion and garlic. This soup is magical!!!
Kate
I’m happy you loved it, Jackielyn!
Burdy Murray
Today is a very cold blustery winters day in London and I saw your receipt for Cauliflower Soup so I decided to give it a go. OMG, I was not disappointed it is simply delicious. Thank you.
Kate
A great soup for a cold day! Thank you for your review.
Laurie
This was delicious. Roasting the cauliflower definitely added flavor!
Kate
It really does help make the soup!
Jill Davies
Very easy to make, delicious. My husband said it was his favorite thing I ever made in 20 years.
Kate
That says a lot, Jill! I’m glad you both loved it. Thank you for your review!
Louise
Absolutely delicious! So easy . A must try..not many ingredients which is why it’s so hard to believe such amazing results but do try, you’ll be amazed! Feel great when we make healthy food right !!
Kate
Thank you for your review, Louise!
Sarah
This soup is absolutely delicious! I didn’t have super high expectations because the recipe is so simple. Pleasantly surprised. One of the best soups I’ve had….and I’ve had many. Thank you for another great recipe.
Kate
You’re welcome, Sarah!
VB
You never mentioned when to add the broth. Assuming its after the onions are cooked? Major omission
Kate
See step 4. It’s right at the end, VB. I hope this helps!
VB
Sorry. I saw it right after I posted and couldn’t delete my comment. It was very tasty. Thank you!!
Halle
I loved this soup. It was creamy and delicious, and the lemon and nutmeg really added some great flavours. I have recently started a strick diet and I’m wondering if I could substitute the butter for non fat Greek yogurt to cut down on the fat content.
Kate
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m not quite sure greek yogurt would have the same impact and could really adjust the taste.
Kimberly
Wow this was so nice I almost cried lol
Kate
Thanks for your review, Kimberly!
Dionne
I don’t cook many recipes from the internet as I’m so picky but this was a really good one. I added some fresh thyme, a bay leaf, a little minced ginger and all spice…my Caribbean background always kicks in. It turned out amazing. I will definitely try more of your soups. Thank you!
Kate
I’m glad you made this one and loved it, Dionne! Thanks for your review.
Eleonora
Super delicious
Kate
Thank you, Eleonora!
Maggie M
Sublime! How is it that we’ve only discovered roasting cauliflower in recent years? I had a scrape of leftover blue cheese, so I stirred that in as well. The nutmeg brought it all together beautifully.
Kate
I’m glad you loved it, Maggie!
allison
Delicious!!! Love this soup.
Kate
Great to hear, Allison! Thanks for the review.
Gitta Westra
My husband and I looved this soup, I did not tell him it was cauliflower until after he was finished:) Recipe is going into my “soup” recipe folder.
Kate
I love it! Thanks for your review, Gitta.
kiel m
I’m taking a cup out of the liquids and attempting to make a creamy cauliflower alfredo atm. The soup was great, well done.
Kate
Thanks for sharing!
Leslie
I’m pretty sure this is the most delicious soup I’ve ever made! Thank you for this terrific recipe.
Kate
Love to hear that, Leslie! Thanks for sharing.
Linda
Loved the soup! Roasting the cauliflower definitely made the difference. I followed the recipe except I added 2 leeks with the red onion. I also don’t like nutmeg, but I thought I should put it in to see what it did for the flavor combo. I really didn’t taste it at all. The lemon juice brightened the flavor – hard to describe and I will always include it. I’ll be following your recipes from now on!!! Thank you!
Kate
Roasting makes all the difference! Thanks for your review and comment, Linda.
Angela Rampone
Wow! This was so amazing! Way exceeded expectations. Will be making often.
Kate
Great to hear, Angela!
Katy Mason
Just made this and the one spoonful to check it turned into ten spoonfuls straight away! Really delicious (my other half said it’s the best soup I ever made), so thank you very much, it’s great!!
Kate
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Ali
I made this tonight and enjoyed it overall, but my husband and I both thought it was too bland as written. I added some cumin along with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, which gave it more flavor. This is the first recipe I’ve tried of yours, and I’m hoping the next one is a bigger hit in our house! Don’t worry, we still plan to eat the leftovers! ;)
Kate
I’m sorry he didn’t love it! Thanks for the feedback, Ali.
CJO
Wow – I made this recipe today and thought it was amazing! The flavors were so rich. Not that I’m vegan, but I used cashew butter since I had some on hand (not using butter right now except for my fatty coffee :-). Net, net, this recipe is a keeper. One note, mine turned out darker than your photo (more of a medium taupe color) not as pretty, but still delicious. Maybe I roasted the cauliflower 5 mins too long…
Kate
I’m glad you loved it, CJO! Thanks for sharing.
Narny
Phenomenal!! Perfect on a cool Australian autumn day.
SIMONETTA SERI
Bloody delicious – the lemon juice takes it to another level. I actually grated nutmeg over the cauliflower prior to roasting and served it with a generous sprinkling of crispy diced bacon
Trish
Delish. I used the full 1/4 tsp plus some of the nutmeg. My mother used this spice on many of our vegetables and I like it.
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Trish!
Linda
What a flavourful and filling soup! The creaminess was excellent and coated my mouth beautifully. I will make this again, and again, and again! Thanks for a lovely veggie soup!
Kate
You’re welcome, Linda! Thanks for your review.
Patsy Taylor
Made a salad for friends calling over for supper but the weather took a cold turn so served your soup as a warm first course. Deliciously heart warming and made a great start to a cosy evening. Thank you.
Kate
You’re welcome, Patsy!
Suzy
Thank you this was an absolutely amazing recipe so sumptuously delicious also liked the fact that it was low fat with no cream. Definitely the best cauliflower soup I have eaten. Well done I look forward to trying more of your recipes glad I lucked upon you :)
Kate
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear it’s the best you have had. Thanks for your review, Suzy!
Bridget
I made this soup for a dinner party, and among everything (salad, veggies, stuffed squash, mashed potatoes, etc etc etc) it was the single thing everyone loved the most. So many compliments! I made it vegan with Earth Balance instead of butter, and all the meat and potatoes folks LOVED it. The lemon and nutmeg really make all the difference.
Kate
A great line-up, Bridget! Thank you for your review.
Daniela
Kate! this soup is amazing!! (As every single recipe that I’ve tried so far from your website). Thank you so much for inspiring me to cook and for sharing your talent :)
Kate
You’re welcome, Daniela! I’m so glad you loved it.
Sarah Macquarrie
I would love to make this soup. V However you stress using salt. I cannot use salt. Do you suggest not making the soup? Thanks. Sarah
Kate
If you can’t have it, you can omit it. Your flavor will vary, however.
Laura
This was relatively easy and the flavors were there. I really think the roasted cauliflower enhances the taste. However the texture of the soup for me was way too “fluffy”. The consistency for me was more of a mousse rather than a soup, which was very offputting. Perhaps my head of caluflower was too big and i needed more broth.
Kate
I’m sorry this didn’t turn out for you! It does sound like you had too much cauliflower. What type of blender or food processor did you use?
Sherry Wernicke
I made the soup the other night and added frozen roasted corn. It was wonderful!
Kate
Great to hear, Sherry!
Izabela
So lovely and so simply!!! Just delicious My new faworite soup
I garnished with parsley just becouse I love this herb and I putting to nearly everything
Thank you for amazing recipe
Kate
Thank you for your review, Izabela!
Janine
This was a pleasant surprise. I really don’t like cauliflower much but I try to eat it sometimes because it is good for me. This was delicious actually. It must have been the roasting. I agree proper salting is important be careful with that. I didn’t add much lemon I don’t like it when lemon flavour overwhelms things. Anyway thanks so much for such a delicious, simple, and healthy soup.
Kate
I’m glad you tried it anyway, Janine! Thanks for your review.
David
I made this tonight – absolutely delicious – thank you!
Kate
You’re welcome, David!
Cat
It was pretty good. Not my best cauliflower soup, but still hearty and tasty! I found it a little bland for my tastes, but it could always be spiced up. A reminder to those using store bought broth — check the sodium on the package as you may not need to add more salt.
Kate
I’m sorry you didn’t love it! I appreciate your review, Cat.
Sherryl
Made this soup tonight ! It was very delicious!
Kate
I’m glad you loved it, Sherryl!
Maree Allen
Just made this soup &it is amazing.I roasted the garlic cloves with the cauliflower & it is so delicious!
Kate
Hooray! Thanks for trying it and letting me know what you thought, Maree.
Laura
I LOVED this recipe. I made it for the first time for some friends and it was loved by everyone. I added some crispy bacon also and mixed it in after the blending. I’m making it again tonight.
Thank you!
Kate
You’re welcome, Laura!
Karen
Wow delicious!! You are right about not using the immersion blender! Great tip. Also, the butter for creaminess was a new tip for me, nutmeg and lemon really give it that extra! Thanks for the great recipe! I love cauliflower!
Kate
Thanks, Karen! I appreciate your feedback. I’m glad you loved it.
Nils
Why dont you learn to write a recipe??? Roast the cauliflower..really? How long? What temperature? Useless recipe. Never use this site again.
Kate
Hi Nils, I’m sorry you are frustrated. I’m not sure where the frustration is exactly, as it states starting in Step 1 – 2 how to roast the cauliflower. Were you seeing the steps below the recipe ingredients?
Rebecca
This is the most tasty soup ever!!
I want to make another batch straight away
Kate
I’m happy you loved it, Rebecca!
Jenn
I made this recipe last night and I have to say it was the best soup I’ve probably ever had. I did add a small amount on cayenne pepper and I added a whole head of roasted garlic, but other then that I followed the recipe. It blended perfectly smooth I didn’t even feel the need to strain it. I will 100% make this over and over and over.
Kate
Thank you for sharing, Jenn! I’m glad you plan to keep making this one.
Charlotte Walker
It’s a cold, early winter evening here in New Zealand & I just used made this. I did have to up the salt quite a lot but that was probably because I used cauliflower from my own garden – which was harvested just a little too late! It was lovely. I am looking forward to trying your other recipes. Thank you for sharing.
Kate
Perfect soup for a cold evening! Thanks for your feedback, Charlotte!
Kate
Beautiful soup, thank you!!
Kate
You’re welcome!
Myrna
Really good! The roasted flavour shines. I think I’ll back off on the amount of garlic I used, but everything made as per recipe. We don’t have diet restrictions so used chicken broth and regular butter. All I have is an immersion blender, worked fine. Will do-over and share!
Kate

I did not expect the level of delicousness with this soup. I had some cauliflower I needed to use up and found this recipe and wow. I don’t know if it’s the lemon juice or the roasting or what but it’s seriously good. So impressed.
Kate
I’m so glad to hear you loved it, Alex! Thanks so much for sharing.
