There’s just something about a warm bowl of creamy soup on a cold winter’s day. Unfortunately, many creamy-soup recipes are full of cream and cheese, or include condensed soups (thus, preservatives and sodium). But this one harnesses the natural creaminess of cauliflower and pairs it with savory rosemary, garlic and parsley for a decadent, creamy soup that has no dairy.
For an even richer flavor, substitute vegetable broth (or chicken if you’re not vegetarian) for all or some of the water. A splash of coconut milk or heavy cream at the end would make it even more decadent.

February 25, 2016 at 12:55 pmHi there! :) I just finished cooking the recipe and realised I should have added the parsley and olive oil as a garnish! ? I didn’t read the entire blog but I thought I would make a suggestion of including an indication that the parsley and olive oil should be garnishes. Rookie mistake on my behalf really ? Still smells yum! Although I think I’ll use less dried rosemary next time (as I’m not much of a fan to begin with). The blog is awesome and thank you for the recipe! ?
Much love,
Tamara

February 27, 2015 at 5:45 amI was really excited to make this, but unfortunately it turned out too peppery to eat. I’m wondering if it’s a typo and perhaps should be a teaspoon of salt and pepper?
Meagan says
February 27, 2015 at 6:46 pmI totally agree, that has to be a typo to include all that pepper. I wish I had read your comment before I made it! I’ll try again with a few adjustments.
