This creamy cauliflower soup, with its light golden color, smooth texture, and rich, savory flavor, is easy to make and sure to please guests. Made with cauliflower, potatoes, and white beans, it’s hearty and filling, with a touch of lemon for brightness. Topped with optional crispy herb breadcrumbs and served with fresh bread, it works well for both everyday meals and special occasions. It can also be made ahead and stored without losing its taste or texture.

Roast Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Cut the cauliflower into small florets, wash them, and place them in a large casserole dish. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters or eighths, then add it to the cauliflower along with the unpeeled garlic cloves. Wash the potato and cut it into small cubes, approximately one centimeter (½ inch) in size.

Mix the vegetables with olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the oven at 200°C for 40 minutes, then roast uncovered for another 10 minutes.

Crispy Topping

Grate the bread rolls on a box grater or in a food processor. Zest about half a lemon, press a garlic clove through a garlic press or dice it finely.

In a skillet, lightly sauté the garlic and lemon zest in olive oil for a short time. Add the bread crumbs and cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan frequently, until golden brown. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.

Serve

Drain and thoroughly rinse the beans in a colander. Place the vegetables, beans, vegetable broth, and nutritional yeast in a blender and puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can put all the ingredients in a pot and use an immersion blender to puree them. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lemon to taste.

Season the soup with salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. Serve with the crispy topping and some fresh bread.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cauliflower Roasting Technique 🔥
Roast the cauliflower florets with a light drizzle of olive oil before blending to intensify the soup's depth of flavor and add a subtle caramelized note.
Nutritional Yeast Magic 🧀
Toast the nutritional yeast lightly in a dry pan before adding to the soup to enhance its nutty, cheese-like flavor profile and bring out more complex umami notes.
Texture Perfection Trick 🥄
Use a combination of white beans and potato to create an ultra-creamy texture without heavy cream, ensuring a smooth, velvety consistency that's both light and satisfying.
Lemon Zest Brightening 🍋
Add the lemon zest towards the end of cooking to preserve its vibrant citrus oils, which will provide a fresh, aromatic lift to the entire soup.
Herb Breadcrumb Topping 🥖
Create crispy herb breadcrumbs by toasting torn hard bread roll pieces with dried Mediterranean herbs and a touch of olive oil for a crunchy, flavorful garnish that adds texture and visual appeal.
