Print Recipe

A creamy, velvety soup featuring roasted red peppers and cauliflower, perfect for chilly evenings and cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or freshly roasted)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk/cream)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chop the cauliflower into small florets, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat in the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the cauliflower is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
  5. Add roasted red peppers and smoked paprika to the pot. Stir well and allow the flavors to meld for another 5 minutes.
  6. Carefully blend the soup until smooth. Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or a countertop blender in batches, allowing the soup to cool slightly before blending.
  7. Return the soup to the pot, stir in almond milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

[‘Roast your own peppers for extra smoky flavor.’, ‘Let hot liquids cool slightly before blending to avoid pressure buildup.’, ‘Adjust consistency with additional vegetable broth or almond milk if needed.’, ‘Smoked paprika adds a subtle smokiness that complements the roasted peppers beautifully.’, ‘Double the recipe and freeze portions for easy weeknight meals.’]
