    How to make Roasted Vegan Cauliflower Soup:

    (for full recipe instructions and ingredients see recipe card at end of post)

    Preheat oven to 425° Line a large baking sheet with parchment.

    Slice the head of cauliflower down the middle lengthwise and cut out the core. Pull off the florets and cut into slices. Add to the baking sheet. Drizzle over the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together (I use my hands) and spread evenly on the sheet pan.

    Bake for 35 minutes tossing halfway through cooking. When cool enough to handle give it all a rough chop

    When the cauliflower is almost finished baking start the soup: Set your soup pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic, oil and pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes or so until veggies are softening. 

    Now add the water, bouillon, nutritional yeast, salt, spices and roasted cauliflower (reserve lemon juice until the end of cooking) Bring to a boil on high heat. Cover reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or so until the veggies are tender. 

    Remove 4 big ladles of soup (4-5 cups) and puree in blender. Pour back into soup. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the lemon juice. If soup is too thick add a splash or two of vegetable broth. Enjoy!

    Serve with my no knead artisan bread for a tasty lunch or lite dinner!

      Question. I just made this and I made a double batch. I am not new to cooking and soups are my favorite thing to make. I followed the instructions and used to heads of cauliflower, because I was doubling the recipe. When I blended my soup, it
      wasn’t thick, at all. It was very runny. I have made other vegan soups, that require blending, to add texture/creaminess to the soup. Maybe, I needed more cauliflower? Your pictures look like you have a lot of veggies in, even after bending, and mine had very little. I used 9 cups of water (since I doubled the recipe), so I am just curious about your thoughts. Anyhow, even though it was runny (like a normal soup), it was very good. The flavor was amazing, I just want to get the texture right. Thanks!

        Hi Tristen I haven't doubled the soup before- if you're finding it to thin just puree more of the soup, simmer longer, or add less water. It is not a super thick soup to begin with. Hope that helps and happy holidays to you!:) and glad you enjoyed it!

      My boyfriend, who intensely disliked cauliflower, LOVES this soup! Me too! I didn’t have celery salt, so I added celery seed and salt. I also forgot the lemon juice the first time; when we added it the second time we decided the soup is perfect without it! I made it in the Ninja Foodi with pressure cooker, and that worked great. I blended about 3/4 of the soup for a creamier texture. This is a WINNER!!!

      Loved this soup so much!! Quick question, when it says that a “serving” is approx 159 calories, what exactly would that serving size be? Thanks!!!

      Hey! Definitely making this soup tonight regardless, but celery salt is really hard for me to find- will omitting it drastically take away from the good flavor? Substitution of celery salt seems super weird, but I really don’t know! 😀

        I'm sure it will still be tasty without celery salt, add in some chopped celery leaves along with chopped celery if you have them. Enjoy Lindsay!
