Cauliflower Carrot Soup for the table

This creamy Cauliflower Carrot Soup is a nutrient-rich dish that takes less than 30 minutes to make. Perfect for soup weather, or whenever you need a quick lunch or simple light dinner recipe.

The vegan cauliflower carrot soup recipe came about when We discovered a head of cauliflower that We had forgotten We purchased a few days prior, and We wanted to try something different.

We love making cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, and cauliflower fritters, but We truly wanted to make a rich, creamy soup packed with veggies – and We needed it to be QUICK.

We threw some veggies together, along with the usual dairy-free soup base of coconut milk + vegetable stock.

Turns out, roasted cauliflower + carrots + potatoes + a few fave spices = MAGIC!

🥕 Ingredient notes

Veggies – Cauliflower florets and carrots are the main ingredients, so be sure to use the freshest veggies. You'll also need some potatoes to help add to the creaminess of this soup.

Coconut Milk – This dairy-free alternative is what makes the soup so creamy!

Vegetable broth – When possible, We try to use homemade vegetable stock or broth that is also packed with extra nutrients from saved veggie scraps! But store-bought vegetable stock or broth is also perfectly fine.

✅ Step-by-step instructions

Prep time for this creamy cauliflower carrot soup can take 5 minutes up to 10 minutes, depending on how long it takes you to wash and chop the veggies. And the best part? The total time is under 30 minutes!

1. In a large bowl, season the vegetables and toss them with olive oil, spices, minced fresh garlic cloves, salt and black pepper. Then spread them over a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Roast the veggies for about 20 minutes at 425 degrees. You want the veggies to have a richer color and be tender enough for a fork to easily pierce through one – but not too soft that they turn to mush at the touch.

3. Let the veggies cool for a minute or two outside of the oven. Then pour them into a large pot, along with the coconut milk and vegetable stock.

4. Puree soup with an immersion blender until you have a smooth, creamy texture. Then eat up!

Note: if you don't have an immersion blender, you can also puree the roasted veggies, coconut milk, and vegetable stock in a regular blender or food processor.

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

🍷 Wine pairings

An earthy, thick soup like this Cauliflower Carrot Soup that also has rich spices would pair well with a nice bright Pinot Gris. We am currently crushing on two Pinot Gris from Oregon: the Rainstorm Pinot Gris.

This white wine is quite food friendly and pairs well with the rich flavor in this dish. The fresh acidity helps balance out the subtle spices in this cauliflower carrot soup.
