Crockpot Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Tis the season for all the soup! And my all-time favorite way of making soup? In my Crockpot! Slow cooking has a way of merging all the flavors and making for ultra-tender veggies (which paves the way to ultra-creamy soup!) But given that there are simply enough complicated recipes this time of year sucking our energy (and grocery budgets), this soup has just 4 ingredients (okay 5 if you include water) and is simple to make.
Making this Crockpot Creamy Cauliflower Soup is so easy. You’ll just cut your cauliflower roughly into florets and throw them into your Crockpot, along with the cashews (which add major creaminess), diced onion, and broth. Let all those flavors blend together for a few hours (on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8).
Just before serving, blend everything using either a handheld immersion blender or a countertop blender (I prefer the handheld, so much easier and it creates less dishes!) I love to top my soup with roasted chickpeas, but you could also top yours with grated cheese, bacon, croutons (or even popcorn as a soup topping!)
To make this Crockpot Creamy Cauliflower Soup you’ll need:
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 medium white onion
- 1 cup cashews
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 to 2 cups water
- ½ tsp salt

What can I use to replace cashew nuts for nut allergy people??
Sarah Bond says
Hi Tomomi! You can just remove the cashews then stir in a splash of cream (or Greek yogurt) right before serving to add the creaminess :)
