Anti Inflammatory Cauliflower Chicken Soup
This soup is one of my go-to’s since it takes around 30 minutes to come together. You can also leave out the chicken to make this vegan or vegetarian. It tastes great and you feel great after you eat it!
Whenever I feel like I need a boost of extra vitamins and nutrients, I make this amazing and creamy soup. The ingredients are typically always on hand and the process is completely uninvolved. There is minimal preparation and cooking time.
We have the ginger, turmeric, cauliflower, carrots and garlic as our anti inflammatory components to this dish. Not only are they healthy but flavor packed too. Its a win win soup situation.

Anti Inflammatory Cauliflower Chicken Soup
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger, grated (or paste)
- 1/2 tsp each turmeric + paprika
- 1 tsp dried mint
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head cauliflower, florets
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked + shredded
- garnish: olive oil drizzle + lemon
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat your olive oil on medium. Add in the onion and carrot and saute for 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
- Add in the turmeric, paprika, dried mint, salt and pepper to taste and stir to coat. Then add in the cauliflower florets and broth, cover the pot, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Continue cooking for 7 minutes or until the florets are fork tender.
- Using a large slotted spoon, transfer about 80% percent of the cauliflower to a blender and puree for 1 minute or until just smooth. Transfer this back to the pot along with your shredded chicken (if using). Stir to combine all. Taste the soup and adjust the salt if needed.

This is an easy and delicious soup. So much flavor with opportunity to customize! I added a couple handfuls of fresh baby spinach at the end with a pinch of pepper flakes. It was very creamy from the blended cauliflower so didn’t feel the need to add milk of any kind.
Thanks Stella for your awesome recipes!!!

What is the purpose of mint for this meal? It looks delicious.
Delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!
Very good, made it on a cold Wisconsin night and it hit the spot.
I made this soup because it felt like I was starting to come down with some kind of bug or illness, so I thought I’d try that anti-inflammatory goodness 🙂 I always drink ginger tea when I’m not feeling my best, so adding it to soup sounded like a great idea. The soup was delicious and satisfying (so creamy without cream!) and it did feel like I got a boost from it. My husband loved it too and he hates most veggies. I’m now adding cauliflower to other soups to make them creamier and it’s a game changer. Thanks for sharing your recipes, they are great.
I’ve made so many of your recipes and loved them all – this is definitely one of my favorites!
I made this recipe twice already! It is soooo delicious and easy to make. I didnt think my husband was going to like it but to my surprise he loved it and asked when I was making it again! thanks for the recipe.
Fantastic! Glad its on repeat in your home and the hubs enjoyed it too!
What did you drizzle on top please
