Cauliflower And Potato Soup Vegan Recipes

VEGAN CAULIFLOWER AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Sauté the onion and garlic in the vegan margarine or olive oil in a large soup or stock pot over medium heat, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onions and garlic are almost soft.
• Add the diced potato and chopped cauliflower and cook for a few more minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the vegetable broth and bay leaves and bring to a simmer.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low once the mixture is simmering, cover the pot, and allow to cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Carefully remove the bay leaves, then transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth and creamy, or leave a bit of texture if desired.
• Season lightly with a bit of salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg and reheat if needed.
• Top with grated vegan cheese and green onions, if desired, just before serving.

SWEET POTATO CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Take 1 cup of the cauliflower and spread onto a baking sheet. Drizzle the 1 tsp of olive oil (if using) and a sprinkle of salt over the cauliflower and mix well. Spread the cauliflower out into one even layer and bake for 20 minutes. Shake the pan to toss the cauliflower around and bake another 5-10 minutes until the edges start to turn brown.
• In the meantime, in a soup pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onion in 1/4 cup vegetable broth until translucent - about 7-8 minutes. Add more vegetable broth as needed so the onions don't stick.

• Add the chopped sweet potato, cauliflower, and remaining vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to med-low and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetable are fork tender.

Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper, if necessary. If you like a thinner soup, add a bit more vegetable broth or water.
• Serve in individual bowls garnished with a few roasted cauliflower florets.
