This quick and easy Roasted Cauliflower soup recipe is one that I found a while back in Bon Appetit.
That recipe had butter and heavy cream which I’ve eliminated in my version.

Is Cauliflower Good for You?
Is cauliflower good for you? That would be a resounding yes.
Cauliflower, a cruciferous vegetable, contains unique plant compounds that are helpful in preventing cancer and heart disease. It’s also low carb and full of healthy fiber.
Cauliflower Rice anyone?!
Cauliflower Nutrients
This incredible vegetable also contains:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin K
- Magnesium
Cauliflower is one of my favorite foods. A cruciferous vegetable, it’s full of anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and healthy fiber.

Naomi says
Thank you! I’m struggling to find ways to eat more cauliflower and this sounds lovely.
Kilee says
I love soups! Crockpot, stovetop, takeout – I love them all! This looks especially comforting with all the cold weather we’ve been having lately.
Kim says
Looks delicious! A stick blender works as well as a VitaMix if you have one. Makes the texture so smooth. Thanks for another great recipe!
Gwen says
My stick blender just did not do the job for me. I had to dump it all in the vitamix. Perhaps I didn’t chop up my cauliflower small enough.
One thing for sure: This soup is delish and I’ll be making it again.
Lisa says
This is exactly what I wondered. Thanks for sharing.
Elana says
Lisa, that’s why I use a high-powered blender to puree this soup :-)
Meagan says
I made a soup just like this last week which I saw on Tarlette. It was fab. I love your bright blue dutch oven!
Marie says
The color is so perfectly bisque-ish! The mere act of De-Paul Deening anything makes the world a slightly better and healthier place.
Kim says
Oh, now, don’t be dissin’ Miss Paula! ;)
Bridge says
If ever people know me and my cooking well enough to use my name as a verb I’ll know I’ve made it! No matter their opinion of my style! (I know my 19 year old would happile de-bridge my recipes by putting the sugar back in, fine by me!)
Luana says
I love your Mediterranean Blue Le Crueset. I have the same one and I think it’s calling me to make this soup.
The World In A Pot says
Hmm..I see a lot of potential for a wordly kind of soup made with this one. I can already envision this soup with exotic spices.. Love the simplicity.
Latia says
Thanks for this wonderful, simple recipe. It was delicious, much better than I expected. I did what Megan did and cut up the cauliflower first, then covered in olive oil and salt and roasted about half the time (45 minutes). It gets a great, caramalized flavor when roasted. I will definitely be making this again (and again). Thanks so much!
Eva @VegucatingMyKid says
I love cauliflower soup! I did see a recipe from a vegan blogger who suggested using brazilian nuts to make soup creamy–I tried it–it was lovely….
Julie @BananasForBourbon says
Such a slow roast sounds like the makings of delicious cauliflower! Very concentrated flavors, I’m sure. I also like to add cashew butter for a little extra heft.
