    • It's SUPER healthy and tastes great! This soup is literally loaded with vegetables but it's also filled with flavor (thank you spice blend) and the texture is silky smooth and creamy (thank you coconut milk)!
    • It's SUPER easy to make. With only 10 minutes of active prep time, this dinner is great for those nights when you want a hot and nutritious meal but don't have time for anything too involved. Your oven does all the work and you reap the benefits of a delicious healthy dinner!
    • It's SUPER easy to get your kids involved in making this dinner! Let them help you measure the spices, drizzle the olive oil and stir in the coconut milk. I've said it before and I'll say it again - when kids have a part in making the meal, they are 10 times more likely to eat the meal!

    Tips

    • Cut your cauliflower into uniform size pieces. Ensuring that they are all the same size means that they will roast evenly in the oven.
    • Don't fret over the amount of garlic. 2 heads of garlic might seem like a lot but after it's been roasted the flavor becomes very mellow. 2 heads will give you enough of that deep, rich garlic flavor without overwhelming the soup.
    • Feel free to sub heavy cream for the coconut milk if you'd like. On the rare occasion that I don't have coconut milk, I have subbed heavy cream in this cauliflower soup. I usually start with about ยพ-1 cup of cream and add more as needed.

      My husband and I have been working really hard at eating a plant based diet. This is the hands down best recipe so far. I have made some inedible soups. (I am picky). But this soup is so good. We ate it all. You could probably throw in extra veggies that you won't otherwise use to save $ and the planet. I used a hand mixer and more spice. Best vegan meal so far.

          I am so glad that you mentioned this! I just went in and checked and the software I was using to calculate calories had listed the cauliflower as some type of pickled cauliflower (which was adding WAY more carbs). The nutrition facts are updated now with the correct ingredient of just raw cauliflower. Thanks for pointing that out!! ๐Ÿ™‚
