    A hearty, creamy and healthy Thermomix Cauliflower soup is everything you could ask for when you need a tasty, warming meal in winter.

    The thick and creamy texture is from nothing more than cauliflower that's been perfectly cooked and blended in your Thermomix; there's no need for cream!

    A simple and tasty soup is easy to make into a family-friendly meal by simply adding some soft and fluffy homemade bread rolls, or savoury muffins.

    Vegetable savoury muffins make a perfect accompaniment to Thermomix Cauliflower Soup for a meat-free meal day, and bump up the veggie intake as well! Healthy ham, cheese and zucchini muffins are also delicious to serve alongside this soup.

    Why You're Going to Love This Thermomix Soup

    Using your Thermomix to make soups means no time spent standing and stirring, it's quick and easy to get dinner cooked, especially with minimal prep needed!

    • Quick and easy - once you've chopped the cauliflower, there's very little else for you to do as your Thermomix takes care of the rest!
    • One-bowl recipe - you can add your ingredients straight into the Thermomix mixing bowl as you prepare them, making 'clean up' simple and easy too.
    • Kid friendly - the addition of parmesan takes cauliflower to a whole new level of yum!
    • Low in all the right things - low carb, low fat, low calories, but high on taste and healthy too!

    What You Need

    There are just four main ingredients in my Thermomix Cauliflower Soup recipe - that's it! Tastes so creamy, but no cream required....

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method

    All the ingredients for cauliflower soup on a bench top.
    • Parmesan cheese - adds a lot of flavour to a savoury dish. You can either buy it in a block and grate it yourself in the Thermomix, or buy it already finely grated. It is important to use the fresh cheese from the refrigerated section for this recipe. See the FAQ section below for dairy-free substitute suggestions.
    • Vegetable stock liquid - a good quality, shop-bought liquid stock will be perfectly fine to use, or if you prefer to make your own Thermomix vegetable stock concentrate, you can dilute this to make your own liquid stock. The ratio is 1 tablespoon of concentrate for every 500ml of water.
    • Cauliflower - I use 1 large cauliflower that weighs approximately 1 kg.
    • Butter - in a savoury recipe, using either salted or unsalted butter will be perfectly fine. You can simply adjust your seasoning as needed.
    • Salt and pepper - season to your liking!

    Equipment Required

    This recipe uses the Thermomix to cook and blend the cauliflower into a thick and hearty soup.

    • Thermomix machine - this recipe is suitable for use in all Thermomix models - the TM31, TM5 and TM6, as well as all other thermal cookers too.
    • Kitchen basics such as a chopping board and knife to wash and prepare the cauliflower.
    • Frying pan - (optional) this is only required if you would like to add some crispy bacon pieces to serve on top.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Your Thermomix Cauliflower Soup will be ready to set and forget with nothing more than minimal preparation!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method

    Step 1 - Grate The Parmesan

    If using a block of parmesan rather than pre-shredded, grate this first for 10 seconds, Speed 8, and set aside for later. Otherwise, skip to Step 2.

    Step 2 - Prepare Soup Ingredients

    Add the liquid stock, cauliflower florets and seasoning to the Thermomix mixing bowl.

    Make sure that you do not fill past the MAX line.

    Assemble the lid, without the Measuring Cup (MC).

    If you are using a TM6, replace the MC with the splash guard during cooking to prevent any of the liquid escaping the MC hole. If you are using a TM31, TM5, or another brand of thermal cooker, use the simmering basket to cover the MC hole.

    Step 3 - Set And Forget

    Cook for 25 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1.

    Check the cauliflower florets to make sure they are really soft.

    Step 4 - Blend Until Creamy And Smooth

    Pureé the soup by increasing the speed gradually to Speed 8.

    Add half of the grated parmesan, and blend in for 30 seconds, Speed 8.

    Safety Tips For Blending Hot Soup

    IMPORTANT: There are a few important safety tips when blending hot soups in the Thermomix.

    The first is to cool the soup for a few minutes before blending. It is always safer to blend it once it's slightly cooler, and reheat if necessary.

    The second is to always make sure the MC is in place, securely, without holding it on with your hand.

    The third, is to increase the speed gradually until you get to the higher speeds.

    FAQ's

    Can this Thermomix cauliflower soup be made dairy-free?

    To make this dairy-free, Parmesan cheese can be substituted with nutritional yeast flakes or a vegan parmesan. Substitute the butter with a dairy-free spread like Nuttelex.

    Why does the cauliflower need to be cut into small florets?

    Even though you cook and blend the cauliflower in the Thermomix, smaller florets will cook faster. The cauliflower needs to be really soft to make the soup as creamy as possible.

    Can I make this soup without a Thermomix?

    Yes! Just use my conventional method Cauliflower Soup recipe that you can find here.

    Expert Tips

    • Storing - this Thermomix cauliflower soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
    • Freezing - this soup can be frozen, in an airtight container, for up to 3 months.
