Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds (700-900 g) cauliflower
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup (50 g) cashews soaked (*see recipe notes)
- One 15 oz can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (or less/more to taste)
- 1/2 tsp ground oregano (or thyme)
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice or lime juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Soak cashews for a couple of hours or boil them for 15 minutes in water until they are soft.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Cut the cauliflower into florets, spread on a baking tray (lined with parchment paper) and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and a little salt. Toss with your hands and roast the cauliflower in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until nicely browned and tender. Set aside a few cauliflower florets for garnish.
- In a blender, combine all ingredients (add the broth & milk in batches if necessary) and blend until completely smooth.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasonings. If you prefer a spicy soup, add some hot pepper flakes!
- If the cauliflower soup is too thick (it does get thicker as it sits), add a little bit more broth or plant-based milk and blend again.
- Transfer to a pot and warm to the desired temperature.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and the reserved cauliflower florets. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use shelled hemp seeds instead of cashews or leave them out (the soup will be less creamy though).
