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.

I found this recipe online and thought to try it. I had 2 heads of cauliflower in the refrigerator because they were on sale at Whole Foods. I am not on any special diet, just trying to eat healthier. I tried this recipe and the only change I made was to add some white part of the leek and some minced garlic. I processed in the Vitamix and the results were sensational! My dinner guest said it’s the best soup I’ve ever made and characterized it as fine dining restaurant quality. I look forward to trying your Jewish recipes.

Hey! Just found your blog through Pinterest. I enjoy cooking but I am a busy mom, do you think this would freeze well? I am trying to compile paleo/gf/asf recipes for freezer cooking. Thanks!
Ann says
Wow!! Another amazing soup, simple, elegant, delicious. After reading other comments I also roasted two cloves of garlic, and dressed the finished soup with red pepper flakes, such a pretty presentation. Everyone loved it. Even after reading all the other comments I admit I was really surprised how this soup turned out. A welcome addition to our diet. We had been missing creamy soups, and this fits the bill perfectly, with no lactose to cause me problems!

Hi Elena,
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I am new to cooking “sans” gluten and grain and dairy, so this soup was a delicious surprise. Enjoyed it very much as did my husband. NOM NOM NOM ;)
maartje says
Hi Elena, just made and ate the soup ! Very nice . The cauliflower gets really dark in the oven and the soup is not as white as in your picture. Is that the meaning of it ? Maybe i let the cauliflower turn to dark. Excuses if my Englisch is not to good, I’m in the Netherlands.
Thanks for your nice website and recipes i do enjoy them a lot also my belly.
Robin says
I just made this recipe. I love it because it is so simple and smells wonderful while roasting. I added the whole onion next to the cauliflower to roast and pureed it all in a simple mixer with the required water. Following the rest of your instructions to finish it up and it was, presto, ready to eat!!
Mari Ann says

Used garlic infused sea salt on the cauliflower while it roasted. Amazing soup! So easy, filling and not bad for you. Winner all the way around!
Meredith says
Amazing! I also roasted the cauliflower and used some garlic powder. Probably one of the best soups I’ve had! Who knew how creamy it would be!
