This easy healthy cauliflower soup is ready in 15 minutes with 5-6 basic ingredients. Hot wings craving killed with cancer fighting vegetable soup. It is made creamy without cream but rather with secret vegetable. And no need to roast the cauliflower because it’s simply not my life past 12 years and 10 more years. One reader reported roasted cauliflower doesn’t puree well. Even better, more excuses not to roast it.
And this cream of cauliflower soup comes with a heat kick. It’s amazing on a chilly day! Enjoy!

Hello,
Soup tastes wonderful. I am curious that no fibre content was noted? If you add the chickpeas there should be a fair bit, no?
Thanks
There is. I turned on Fiber. Long story short, settings in app before didn’t show fiber unless I turn it on one by one.
can you freeze this?
Yes.
Loved the soup, very easy and tasty. Keep on making RECEIPES you have a terrific way have cooking and educating with cooking
Will do and thanks a million, Gerry!
Great soup and super quick! I toasted some french bread with garlic to go with it and it was delicious! 😀
OH, yum! Can never go wrong with bread and garlic.:)
This recipe is delicious! I’ve made it twice in the last month and I still want more.
Yay!:) Good thing it’s easy to pull off.:)
Ah-mazing healthy cauliflower soup!
Please, help! Could I use coconut milk? Would it taste as good? Thank you!
Yes! Any milk works.
Haha, thanks, Olena, for making me feel better by telling of your own mishaps, but then you always do! You always do keep it real.
We have a short trip to make for a few days but when I return on Sunday, I will get some fresh cauliflower and start over. I am a fast learner, and you are right! Deep down, I knew I was desperate to use up what was in the fridge rather than to shop again. Such a cheapskate! And every store around seems to have organic cauliflower for .89 cents a pound sales right now. In the spring it’s gone, and the price of a small 10 ounce bag of frozen organic will be $3.99!
I should be stocking up, blanching, and stuffing my freezer!
LOL you are not a cheapskate. It is just so hard to let good food to go to waste. I am the same way. Juts common sense. When I spent so much time and money tracking my quality food I respect it. That is why I make SO MANY soups haha.
Yes, in spring our cauliflower costs as much as $5-6.
Have a great trip!
I have one ‘do not do’ for your readers on this recipe, and it’s not using roasted cauliflower. I had lots in my fridge, and made the recipe with that. While it might heighten the flavor, it sure doesn’t purée very well!
It’s my own fault, nothing to do with Olenas perfection recipe!!! Got that? This an example of what happens when you straaaay on your own! I should have known better, but I got so excited when I saw this particular recipe because I just knew my cauliflower reluctant husband would love it. He never saw it!
Roasted cauliflower just has a much more fibrous texture than steamed or boiled. It doesn’t break down (for me) in my high end blender, immersion stick blender, or food processor! I tried them all! I could not get a smooth result. Again, my fault. Did it taste good? I never got that far, frustrated, and not wanting to waste more ingredients on something I knew would be disappointing. I am stuck with being a perfectionist and would be making it again anyway!
Oh, no. Yes, can’t use roasted cauliflower. I know where you were coming from. I myself sometimes get burnt by trying to use up what I have on hand. And as I am doing I have a deep down filling probably it won’t work and I should just follow a recipe 100% and am still doing. You are not alone.
Cauliflower is tricky. I once tried to make a pudding from it and had to toss it all.
I can. not. wait! Now you’ve really done it with this! It’s been cold and drizzling here too, then a tease of warm but only for a day, and cold clouds and rain. This looks so belly warming and cozy and I just put some leftover roasted cauliflower in the fridge last night. Looked at it this morning and wondered how to use it since cauliflower isn’t my husbands favorite thing. But this! It’s spicy and creamy and that blue cheese! I’m sure he would love that. Now to find that wing sauce buried somewhere…
I think it’s wonderful you’ve got cleaning help! I did too, when my kids reached an age of really just having to be everywhere in different directions all of the time, one with chronic health issues. It was that or me losing my sanity or them, or my husband losing their lives! A husband who leaves for work at 6 am and returns after 8pm can’t really help anyway. You are right, it feels absolutely luxurious in the best ever way to have a clean house that you didn’t do! I sometimes used to return home with a bunch of kids and they whole house smelled fresh and looked spotless. Somehow I felt as I’d stepped into a fantasy land. For about a minute, then the arguing and whining was returning with me, lol!
By the way, the phot of this soup is beautiful!
Thank you! Let me know how you like it.
Yes! It keeps me sane. It just makes the most sense right now because I just can’t live with dirt. Any free time I have I prefer to spend time with my family than cleaning toilets. Otherwise, all my life would be work, kids and house work. Yuck. And I still clean in between Carole’s visits.
