    Yes! You heard it right. This soup does not contain either cream or cheese. Then how did I give this soup that creamy texture we love so much?

    It’s one of the super-secret ingredients that I occasionally use to prepare healthy creamy curries. Don’t worry; it won’t be a secret anymore. Because I have made this creamy cauliflower soup for sharing with you all.

    I usually like stir-fried cauliflower with some Indian spices. Especially the one prepared by my mom is my favorite. And it tastes amazing with Indian flatbread, aka roti or naan bread. Maybe one fine day, I will share her recipe with you all. These days I am more into making soups. Don’t blame me—the cold weather outside calls for it!

    Creamy Cauliflower Soup

    If you watch your diet, then restaurant-style cream of cauliflower soup is among those dishes that need to get out from your plate. It is prepared using large amounts of butter, cheese, and cream. Therefore, I prepared this vegan cauliflower soup free from butter and cheese to give it a healthy twist.

    And, to make this soup creamy, I used cooked potato and cashew cream. I am sure you will love this healthy version. It is….

    Serving Suggestions!

    • Simply serve this warm bowl of creamy soup with crusty homemade bread or simple croutons.
    • Prepare homemade focaccia bread or oven-baked zucchini flatbread, or easy chicken sandwich to pair with the soup for a wholesome meal.
    • You can also pair it with veggie pasta salad or Italian lentil salad for a filling meal.

    Health Benefits!

    This creamy cauliflower soup is healthy because
