Light and flavorful soup with simple healthy ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, about 2.5 lbs
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup water in a 9x13 dish and place the head of cauliflower in the dish. Roast for about 60 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Slow cook onion in olive oil for about 15 minutes and until onion is very soft.
- Add chunks of roasted cauliflower, sliced carrots and broth (or water) to the cooked onions. Allow this mixture to cook for 10 minutes.
- Add almond milk and stir to combine.
- Transfer this mixture to a high-speed blender or food processor. I used a Vitamix. This may need to be done in several batches, depending on the size of your blender. Puree until soup is smooth.
- Transfer soup back to skillet and bring soup to a simmer to warm.
Notes
It really doesn't matter how you slice or dice the onion, carrots and cauliflower because it will all be pureed anyway.
Serve with crackers, toast and/or croutons. Best is served with a grilled cheese! Enjoy!

I’m trying to make your soup now, I had several to choose from but I liked the roasting idea,Just pureed it and in the pot, maybe I should use the skillet. =) Its not blended well but so far so good I hope it turns out like the one you made!

God bless you and Blessed Good Friday_ resurrection day!
Hope it turned out great! Enjoy!
Have you ever made this in a crockpot?
I have not, but I think it would work just fine. I looked up a few cauliflower slow-cooker recipes and most say to cook on low for 4-6 hours or until veggies are soft. I really don’t think you could go wrong. Good luck!
Thank you so much- this was amazing!! I tweaked it a bit and added turmeric and it came out great. Credited you in my blog 🙂 http://easybeinggreen4.blogspot.co.il/2015/02/creamy-roasted-cauliflower-carrot-soup.html
I’m so glad that you loved the soup as much as I do! thanks for sharing!
We want to try this recipe. I can follow instructions. Roast for 90 minutes I can understand. I do not know, however, what oven temperature is considered “roast”. What temperature is recommended here?
I roast from 410-415 F. Good luck! Hope you love it!
I am also from Canada and skating is required! My three year old son just got his first pair of skates!
How fun! Happy New Year’s to you, Mary!
Yum! I’ve been looking to experiment and try some new soups, this is perfect!
Hope you get a chance to try a few and enjoy them as much as I do!
Yum! I love how simple and wholesome this is! I need to make a nice soup like this soon since it’s so rainy and dreary nowadays— perfect soup weather 😉
I love having soup when the weather is cold and rainy! Happy New Year’s to you, Alison!
Man you sure make some good looking soups! I want to make them all! I’ve actually never been ice skating! Tragedy right!?! I don’t do well in cold and we don’t have very many ice skating rinks in the area. I think when The Love Nugget gets a little older we’ll start taking him at least once a year though 🙂
I’ve only been a few times and never went as a kid…. not really a Texas thing either. 😉
I was a figure skater growing up so I love skating! In fact I’m taking my nephew today. Like Amanda said, it’s sort of a requirement when you llive in the great white north!
That’s awesome! I could totally see you as a figure skater. Have a wonderful New Year’s, Davida!
I have to admit that I’ve never been the biggest fan of cauliflower, but this soup actually looks really good — I love the creaminess of pureed soups. And I’m pretty sure that skating is one of the requirements of living in Canada… I think I have pictures of me skating when I was like… 2 years old 😆 I even did figure skating and played hockey for a little while.
That’s very cool! Not too much ice skating here in Texas. I’ve actually only been as an adult and never went as a kid.
That looks soooo fantastic! I love that the carrots turned it orange. Creamy soups are the best! It’s been a long time since I’ve used cauliflower in a soup.
Cauliflower is such a great and healthy way to make a soup creamier. Happy New Year’s to you, Laura!
Ice Skating is on our list too this year– we attempted last year but S didn’t love it– this year she wants to try again– soup looks great! Love roasted cauliflower– I’ve never roasted a full head like that in water– did you have to rotate or flip it?? What temp did you cook it at?
Ice skating is definitely better for the older kiddos. My daughter is 7 and she’s just starting to get the hang of it. I think I roasted the cauliflower at 350 (I’m pretty sure it says in the recipe) and didn’t have to turn or flip it. It worked great.
