This easy recipe for vegan cauliflower soup is very creamy and “cheesy”, full of flavor and so simple to make!
I love making soups both winter and summer. They are so easy to make and very budget-friendly 😉
The nutritional yeast is optional in this soup recipe, but it gives a delicious cheesy flavor. And it is full of vitamins and minerals. To make this cauliflower soup more filling and creamy I used cashew nuts. If you don’t have them or want to make nut-free soup, I recommend adding either vegan cream or coconut cream instead. Or tofu works well also!
Tip! If you want to make this soup for picky kids or someone who doesn’t fancy cauliflower too much, you can add peanut butter in it. It covers the regular taste of cauliflower making this soup recipe like “peanut butter soup”, and kids will love it 😉
