I LOVE soup! This creamy, dreamy broccoli soup is actually dairy free because I use coconut milk, but you could totally use heavy cream if you want. However, it’s the cauliflower in this soup that really makes this soup amazingly creamy! You would honestly think this soup is made with potatoes and cheese, but it has neither in it! I’ve made it several times; it’ll fool even the most suspicious eater! It’s also unbelievably easy to make, and is great to have on hand in your fridge. If you haven’t already, you must try it! SO good!
Steph Gaudreau’s original Creamy Leek Soup recipe inspired me to recreate one of my favorites, cream of broccoli soup! I swapped out a few ingredients, added some garlic cloves, and it was perfect. Time to make some soup!
Ingredients –
- 8-10 cups broccoli, chopped
- 1 medium-sized cauliflower, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream
- 1-2 tbsp ghee (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions –
- Place the broccoli, cauliflower, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and coconut milk/heavy cream into a large pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and cauliflower are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use an immersion blender of very carefully pour it into your regular blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!!
this looks delicious

Made this tonight and loved it! It’s so great to be able to throw a handful ingredients in a pot and end up with something tasty & healthy without much effort – especially at the end of a miserable Monday! Thank you.
So glad you liked it, Stephanie!
Kristen, this is so good! So simple, too. Believe it or not, I hate vegetables and will do anything to make them attractive to eat. Having chosen the Paleo diet several months ago, hating vegetables is not a good thing :-/ I have done very well though, roasting, baking, steaming everything I can think of. I love Paleo, and I feel great. Thank you for making a difference.
Thanks so much, Monique!! I’m so glad you’re feeling great! 🙂
Hi, this looks fabulous and I’m a newbie to Paleo/Gluten Free but love to cook so excited I found this site. I’m have a dinner party and I didn’t see how many servings this made and is it garnished with bacon and scallions? thanks so much 🙂
Hi Cheryl, so sorry that I’m just now seeing your comment! This makes approximately 4-5 servings 🙂
Kirsten, I made this soup it was so yummy, I did have to substitute one thing, but still so good thank you for sharing your recipe.
Yay! I’m so glad 🙂
