Ingredients
- 4 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
- 4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon onion powder, granulated
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder, granulated
- dash of paprika
- 1/3 -1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- salt, to taste
- juice of 2-4 lemon wedges
- pepper, to taste (optional)
Directions
- Line a large pot with a thin layer of water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower, reduce the heat to low, cover, and steam until cauliflower is very soft and tender, almost falling apart, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the almond milk, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, a few drops of liquid smoke, salt, to taste, and lemon juice to a blender. Blend for a few seconds so everything incorporates.
- Add the cooked cauliflower, in batches if necessary, and purée until silky and creamy, adding more almond milk if necessary. (You want the consistency to be a thick, creamy soup or a runny gravy.)
- Pour the soup into a small pot and heat gently over medium heat. Season with additional Cajun seasoning, liquid smoke, salt, or pepper, if desired. Once warm, cover and let sit for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to merge. Garnish with a dash of Cajun seasoning.
