This roasted cauliflower chestnut soup<\/strong> is pure comfort in a bowl: oven-roasted cauliflower meets chestnuts, cashews and a hint of rosemary for a velvety cream soup made with just a few ingredients and ready in 45 minutes. No cream, no oil \u2013 just lots of cozy flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n There's nothing quite like a creamy vegetable soup on a chilly fall evening. Oh yes, in my book, soups have to be creamy.<\/strong> Sure, I love my veggie-loaded white bean soup<\/a>, but when it comes to texture, I'll always reach for a cream soup like my tomato soup<\/a>. And I'm pretty sure there are plenty of fellow cream-soup fans out there. So prick up your ears (or eyes?!), because today I've got a creamy cauliflower chestnut soup for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who would have thought that cauliflower and chestnuts make such a dream team? I'd call this one a real winner \u2013 this simple soup turned out seriously delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there's one little detail that decides whether this soup ends up boring or really, really good: the cauliflower doesn't go straight into the pot \u2013 it gets roasted in the oven first.<\/strong> That gives it lovely toasty flavors and a subtle nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the chestnuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result: a velvety, warmly spiced soup<\/strong> made with just a handful of ingredients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n A few notes on the ingredients \u2013 you'll find the exact amounts in the recipe card below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preheat the oven to 185 \u00b0C (365 \u00b0F) fan\/convection. Pour hot water over the cashews and let them soak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut the cauliflower into florets. Spread them on a baking sheet, toss with salt and pepper and (optionally) give them a light spritz of oil spray. Roast at 185 \u00b0C (365 \u00b0F) for about 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Set aside about \u00bc of the roasted florets. Blend the remaining cauliflower with the drained cashews, chestnuts, broth, apple cider vinegar, dried rosemary, salt and pepper until silky smooth. Pour into a large pot, bring to a boil and let simmer for 5\u20138 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the soup among four bowls and top with the reserved roasted florets, a dollop of soy yogurt and diced apple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This delicious vegan chestnut cauliflower soup is really meant as a starter. Here's how to make it more filling or what to pair it with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The chestnuts add extra creaminess and a subtle nutty note. But you can also leave them out \u2013 in that case, use about \u00bc less liquid.<\/p> <\/div> Yes! Cream soups made with cashews freeze really well. After thawing, the soup may separate a little \u2013 just give it a good stir or a quick blitz with an immersion blender, and it'll be velvety again.<\/p> <\/div> You can also brown the cauliflower in a non-stick pan without oil until it takes on some color. It takes about the same time, but you'll need to turn it more often and work in batches. An air fryer works too \u2013 although with this much cauliflower, and depending on your air fryer's capacity, it'll take a little longer.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
