This creamy vegan roasted cauliflower soup with celery, garlic, and onion is roasted on a sheet pan before being blended smooth. A dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and healthy soup recipe that yields a big batch for meal-prep.

I’m excited to share this vegan sheet pan soup because it is creamy, delicately flavored, and easy to make. The roasting cauliflower, celery, onion, and garlic smell amazing while they’re in the oven, and the tender caramelized vegetables are blended to smooth perfection along with sunflower seeds, miso paste, and dijon mustard.

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Celery Soup Ingredients

How to make Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Soup

It takes about an hour to make this creamy vegan soup, but most of that time is totally hands-off.

First, prepare your vegetables for roasting and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast the vegetables for 60 minutes until they’re tender and caramelized, then blend them smooth with white miso paste, dijon mustard, vegetable broth, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, and ground cayenne pepper.

Once your soup is blended smooth, store it in the refrigerator for the week and heat up portions as needed! To serve, pour the desired amount into a saucepan and add as much vegetable broth as you need to achieve the soup thickness you prefer. Serve with celery leaves, plenty of fresh cracked pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a handful of crackers or piece of toast.

What makes this soup special?

  • SHEET PAN MEAL What could be better than a meal prepared almost entirely on one pan in the oven?
  • BIG BATCH This soup yields between 2 and 3 quarts, depending on how much vegetable broth you add. Refrigerate or freeze extras so you have a cozy meal ready on a cold winter day!
  • DAIRY-FREE The combination of roasted cauliflower and soaked sunflower seeds results in such a creamy, dreamy texture without the use of milk or cream.
  • VEGGIE-PACKED Every serving of this vegan roasted cauliflower soup contains over 2 servings of veggies!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 8 sticks of celery (reserve leaves for later)
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp mellow white miso
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4–6 c vegtable broth
  • 1/4 c sunflower seeds, soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed*
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cayenne
  • more salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Chop your cauliflower into florets, setting aside extra for another use if your head of cauliflower yields more than the 4 cups necessary for this recipe.
  3. Chop your celery sticks into 2-3 inch long pieces. Peel and roughly chop your yellow onion, and peel your garlic cloves.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets, celery, onion, and garlic to the prepared sheet pan and add 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Toss to coat the veggies and transfer to the oven to roast for one hour, stirring halfway to make sure everything cooks evenly. At the half hour point, remove the garlic cloves if they are soft and golden brown (so they don’t burn).
  5. When the roasted vegetables are tender and caramelized, carefully transfer them to your blender along with any remaining olive oil on the pan. Add the miso, dijon mustard, vegetable broth (start with 4 cups), sunflower seeds, lemon juice, and cayenne. Blend until very smooth (you may need to do this in batches).
  6. At this point, your soup will probably be thicker than you want. If you’re making ahead of time to eat later, you can store it. as is in jars or other containers until you’re ready to use it. If you’re serving right away, transfer as much soup as you will be eating into a pot on the stove to heat, stirring in more vegetable broth or water as needed to thin out the soup and achieve the texture you prefer. Taste to see if you want more salt, acid, or heat.
  7. Store leftovers in tightly sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  8. Serve the soup with the reserved celery leaves, fresh cracked black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and crackers or toast.

Notes

*if you don’t remember to soak them overnight, place the sunflower seeds in a bowl with boiling water while the vegetables roast.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
