Cauliflower Sunshine Soup

Creamy Greek Isle Cauliflower Soup Recipe

This rich and velvety cauliflower soup is one of those recipes that feels indulgent while secretly being incredibly simple. With tender cauliflower, savory onions, olive oil, parmesan, and the bold Mediterranean-inspired flavors of Signe’s Spices Greek Isle seasoning blend, this soup delivers deep flavor without needing heavy cream.

The magic of this recipe is how naturally creamy cauliflower becomes once blended. The result is a smooth, comforting soup with a luxurious texture that tastes restaurant-worthy while using wholesome ingredients you probably already have at home.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy weeknight dinner, a make-ahead lunch recipe, or an elegant starter for guests, this creamy cauliflower soup is easy, flavorful, and surprisingly versatile.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower, de-stemmed, chopped in large pieces

• ½ onion, chopped

• 2-3 T olive oil

• 2-3 c. chicken broth

• ½ c. parmesan cheese (optional)

• 1 stick pack of Greek Isle from Signe’s Spices

Directions:

1. In a dutch oven, add olive oil and onions, sauté on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

2. Add Greek Isle stick pack and let flavors expand about a minute.

3. Add 2 cups chicken broth and deglaze bottom of pan. Add all cauliflower. Stir together.

4. Cook 10-20 minutes, until cauliflower is fork tender.  

5. Add all to a Vitamix and puree! You can add more chicken broth if you want the soup thinner. We like it thick. ☺

6. Serve in a bowl, add a swirl of olive oil or truffle oil, and a sprinkle of parmesan.

7. Enjoy! ☺

Notes:

The amazing thing is how rich and creamy it is, with no need for cream! 

Sometimes I make in the instapot. Put on sauté mode to sauté, then once you add the cauliflower and broth, put on the lid, and pressure cook on high for 12-15 minutes.  You really can’t mess this up.  ☺

This can be prepared in advance and heated when you like.

You can easily freeze into cubes for the future as well. ☺
