    This Creamy Cauliflower Horseradish Soup has got to be one of the easiest soups ever to make and it can be ready from start to finish in under twenty minutes. It is also extremely healthy and happens to have only about 145 calories per serving. As well as being low calorie it is also oil free, dairy free and gluten free.

    Potatoes are a fantastic ingredient to add to your soups as when blended they become really creamy. They are used here in addition to the cauliflower, both to make the soup more filling and to thicken it. They also add to it's luxuriously creamy texture.

    I didn't purposely set out to make a low calorie soup. It just kind of accidentally happened, but as it's Easter weekend it might be useful for all of us to have this recipe on hand. It will help make us feel slightly better about the copious amounts of chocolate we consume this weekend!

    I love to serve this Creamy Cauliflower Horseradish Soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some caramelized onions or toasted pumpkin seeds. Maybe some vegan croutons too? And of course crusty bread and you've got a delicious, light and tasty meal.

    If you make this Creamy Horseradish Soup (or any of my other recipes) share you pictures with me on Instagram. Use the hashtag #avirtualvegan so I don't miss them. You can also find me and share your pictures with me on Twitter or Facebook too.  I love to see your creations!

    If you love horseradish then you might want to make my Dilly Smashed Potatoes with Creamy Horseradish Dipping Sauce or my Beet, Lentil & Quinoa Burgers with Horseradish Sauce too.

      I haven’t tried it yet but it looks delish! Can this recipe be frozen?

      Can you use any cauliflower? I do not like white cauliflower. But, I was told to try orange cauliflower, since it does have a better flavor. Would it work well in the creamy cauliflower horseradish soup? Or, would the horseradish completely overwhelm it?

        I've never actually eaten an orange cauliflower so I'm not sure how much the flavor differs. I doubt if it's much different. All it will really affect is the color of the soup. I don't see why it wouldn't work. As far as the horseradish goes, you can add as much or as little as you like, tasting as you go to get th ebalance just right for you.

      Made this soup for my vegan co-worker. It was LOVED! Only thing in did differently was oven roast the cauliflower with EVOO and salt and pepper. It added a more complex flavor and color.

      I wouldn't call that soup vegan at all, as the horseradish sauce you referred to contains egg!!!!. Not to mention about the vegetable broth you gave a link to when I open it it shows organic beef stock????!!!!!

        Why would I publish a non-vegan recipe on a vegan website? I am vegan and would never promote the use of animal products in my recipes and giving the recipe only 2 stars when you haven't even made it isn't a very fair thing to do at all. The horseradish sauce I link to is vegan. It is called Atomic Horseradish and I have a jar in my fridge. Here is the ingredient list: distilled vinegar, water, parsnips, horseradish, salt, sugar. As for the vegetable broth which is Pacific brand, the ingredients in that are water, carrots, tomato, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, sea salt, bay leaves, parsley and thyme. No beef. Bear in mind that I use Amazon.com for my links because the majority of my readers are in the U.S. If you are outside of the U.S then when you click on the links Amazon takes you to a general page with multiple items that IT thinks may be relevant. Common sense should tell you that I wouldn't be linking to animal based products.
        When making a recipe you do not have to use the products I link to anyway. You can buy whatever horseradish sauce or broth that you like. I provide the links to be helpful so that people can see what I use when I make the recipes and so that they don't have to contact me to ask every-time.

      Can I use fresh horseradish in this instead of the jarred sauce?

        You certainly could. I have never done it though as I've never actually seen fresh horseradish anywhere here, so I'm not sure on quantities.

      This is a winner! I made it today to share with family and friends, super quick and easy (I'm not a kitchen pro...), and delicious. I'm also a big fan of horseradish, so what a wonderful combination. Thanks for this! Five stars!

      Thank you! And yes more horseradish. I love it and have been trying to use up the massive jar I had. It's gone now so my horseradish phase is over for the time being! You really need to get yourself some. It adds such a delicious kick to all sorts of things. :O)
