This comforting Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe uses a few vegan ingredients and turns them into a silky and flavorful soup. A healthy, light, yet filling bowl of soup is what we need to get back on track after the holidays. Made with leeks, cauliflower, hearty beans, and vegetable broth, this soup is dairy and gluten-free. Plus, this recipe takes just 30 minutes to whip up, which makes it a great option for a weeknight meal.
First, prepare the vegetables. To clean leeks, trim off the root end and remove the outer layer of leeks, then trim off the dark green tops. Don’t toss them away – they are great for homemade stocks. Then, slice the leeks lengthwise in half and dice. Rinse the diced leeks in a bowl of cold water and drain thoroughly. Dice the onion, chop the garlic, and chop the cauliflower into florets. Next, heat the olive oil in a large pot and add the leeks and onions. Add a pinch of salt and sauté the vegetables until translucent. Add the garlic and fresh thyme and cook until fragrant. Finally, add the cauliflower, beans, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper and simmer until the cauliflower is tender. Once ready, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh ground black pepper. Enjoy!
To make the Creamy Cauliflower Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, and add the diced leeks and onions. Add a pinch of salt and sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 3 fresh thyme sprigs. Cook and stir for 30 seconds.
Add 2 ½ cups chopped cauliflower, ¾ cups white beans, 3 ½ cups vegetable broth, and salt and black pepper to taste. Cover the pot and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove the thyme sprigs. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender.
Purée the soup until creamy and smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to purée the soup. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
