Notes

Please read the Tips & Tricks in the article before making this easy cauliflower soup recipe. Below is just a summary:
  1. To make the vegan cauliflower soup creamy, make it with canned coconut milk and simmer the cauliflower in broth until it gets really tender. See more at Tip #1.
  2. To thicken the Paleo cauliflower soup, make sure you don't add too much broth when simmering the cauliflower. For a large cauliflower head (about 2Lbs/1Kg) 3 cups of broth are enough. See more at Tip #2.
  3. This paleo cauliflower soup recipe has many immunity-boosting ingredients like garlic, turmeric and ginger.
  4. You can use other spices, like Italian seasoning, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, or roasted garlic. See more at Tip #4.
  5. You can serve this healthy cauliflower soup with a Thai salad. See more at Tip #5.
  6. To make it Whole30, make sure the coconut milk doesn't contain sulfates, sweeteners or additives.
  7. You can make it with roasted cauliflower, but this will add up to the cooking time.
