Creamy Cauliflower Dill Soup
I have a slight obsession with cauliflower. I use it as rice, as a pizza crust, and I love it pureed in soups. I was actually creating a different soup when I came up with this recipe for Creamy Cauliflower Dill Soup.
I was prepping to make roasted cauliflower soup, when I realized I forgot to roast the cauliflower. I had the cauliflower and onion in the pot when I remembered the recipe I made for Paleo Buffalo Chicken Soup (found on my Paleo Meal Plan post). I wanted to experiment more with dill and started playing around with the recipe.
Towards the end, I still felt that something was missing. Lemon didn’t add the zing I wanted, and that was where the apple cider vinegar came in. It was a risk adding the vinegar, but I feel that it really gave this creamy cauliflower dill soup the “pizzaz” it needed. I was craving a “zing” and that’s just what the vinegar did.
There is a slight heat to the recipe, and I’m assuming it’s from the curry. You can leave that out if you want.

Creamy Cauliflower Dill Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, broken up into florets
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp dried dill
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 2 tsps lemon juice
- 2 tsps parsley
- 2 tsps garlic powder
- 2 tbsps apple cider vinegar
Directions:
- In a large stock pot, add the cauliflower florets, chicken broth (I usually just add water and a spoonful of Better Than Boullion) and onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high, turn to medium and let simmer until the cauliflower is soft.
- Take an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) and puree.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, simmer for at least twenty minutes. Finish with the tablespoon of ACV. (I’m aware that’s odd, but trust me.)

Are you constantly wondering what's for dinner?
When I don't meal plan I feel behind, and we usually end up ordering take out. This recipe binder will keep you organized and make life a little bit easier.
Such a unique and delicious idea for a cozy meal! I would eat the leftovers for lunch all week, too. Dill has such a great flavor to it!
And by the way, you should grab those giant-sized bags of cauliflower at Costco. I always wondered who could possibly use that much cauliflower before it goes bad…and now I know! It sounds like you could plow through a bag in a few days. Hah! 🙂
I totally buy cauliflower by the bag now at Costco 😉 I’m in Canada and we don’t have giant bags but I think the bag I buy has roughly a head-2 heads in it. I use it in everything haha.
This looks amazing, we love soup at our house!
I also fangirl on the cauliflower. It’s so versatile! I remember when I was a little girl, I used to cry whenever my mom would serve cauliflower at dinner. Now it’s my go-to veggie of choice. The great thing about this soup is that it’s gluten free. I’m not only a cauliflower lover, but also a dill lover, and I virtually survive on a lot of soups during cold Chicago winters. This one got pinned and added to my soup list!
I don’t have a Costco near me and I’m jealous of everyone talking about going there! haha This looks delicious! So cozy!
Wow! This recipe looks & sounds delicious! We are so glad you shared it at #HomeMattersParty
Amazing blend of flavors! I threw in a lone zucchini, chopped with the cauliflower – Yum!
Yum! Thank you for sharing Gail, I’m going to try that next time!
This was DELICIOUS! Love the combination of dill and ACV. Definitely will make it again – but cut down on the amount of pepper…boy that made it HOT!
Hi Chris! So glad you liked it!
