My cookbook is here! 
This anti inflammatory cauliflower chicken soup is not only packed with protein and nutrients but its also super creamy and light. Delicious, cozy and healthy are what’s in store for you!
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 (33.3 oz) 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.
Could I do this in crockpot?
I love, love, love this soup!! I have made it several times for me and my clients. I have even eaten it for breakfast once! So healthy and nourishing.
One time I didn’t have chicken so I added chickpeas, it was delicious!
Thank you Stella!
Hi Debra, thanks for trying it out! I appreciate your feedback!
I just tried this recipe and it’s a winner 🏆 so delicious amd light 😋 will 💯 be making this again 🧡
Wow this soup is amazing. Both my husband and I love you. We have tried several of your recipes and liked everyone that we have tried. Thank you
Oh my gosh! I am so glad I found this in my Bookmarks! I kept perusing that folder to find something that would pop out at me and luckily, this did! I love everything about this recipe but especially the warmth that you feel from the ginger and paprika. So perfect on a cold wintry day. And, it gets better the longer the flavors marry. Thanks for such a great recipe!
This was a resounding yes last night. So so good. Had some organic drumsticks that needed to be eaten so browned in my large cast iron Dutch oven to cut into pieces and then followed the recipe exactly in that same pot. Used fresh mint and a good amount of salt at the end bc I only had bone broth which is thinner and milder than stock. Needed some acid so the olive oil drizzle and lemon to serve made it divine. My family thanks you.
suggestion… a splash of fresh lemon in the bowl upon serving.
Wow.. this soup did NOT disappoint. my partner is NOT a cauliflower fan and he LOVED it too. WIN!
I used 1 carrot and 1 sweet potato upon reading reviews of others who did so too.
I was looking for a recipe that would use the ingredients I had in the fridge. Great way to use the last of the Costco chicken! This soup is warm and hearty, great for a rainy day.
This is a lovely, comforting soup–perfect for the winter months. Everyone who I have served this to loves it. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
I have made at least of dozen of your recipes and this one is hands down my favorite. Thank you so much!!
Excellent soup!! We love it! Couldn’t stop eating it. Amazing thanks for recipe. Wish I could post a picture 🥰
Does this soup freeze well?
Made this tonight and it was delicious! Definitely will be making again. It is so fresh and nourishing.
Perfect winter soup! The warmth from the ginger, paprika, and turmeric make this so cozy to sip.
I love the creamy texture from the blended cauliflower but without the heaviness of cream.
Also 5 stars for easy!! You could make this for a weeknight dinner.
