    Added some marinara mix to make a gorgeous seafood chowder, so delicious!! Love, love this recipe, so versatile, thanks Nik !!

  4. 2 stars
    Love most of the things I’ve attempted but this was my least favourite thing so far of everything. I was excited by the reviews and it was a big miss for me.
    Silver lining- kids liked it and then the rest went to an elderly neighbor.

  5. I have a problem… it’s 4.30 and dinner isn’t til 6. I may not have any left at this rate. Tastes amazing! The consistency is perfect! I’ve been meaning to make this for ages but every time I went to the shops they didn’t have cauliflower (wth?). So amazingly good!

  6. Wow. I can not believe this does not have cream or flour. It was so thick and delicious!!
    This will be a regular for sure.

  7. I haven’t got any vegie stock made up.
    Can i just use a carton one and we are vegetarian will leave out the chicken.

  8. Nik, made this tonight for the first time ever… it is absolutely amazing!!! I can not stop at 1 bowl! I followed your advice and used housemade chicken stock and the Mexican spice mix. What incredible flavours this has!!!!! Well done, wish I had of tried this years ago!!!

  9. Oh Nik, I’ll never learn. It’s taken me years to make this humble dish… there’s always been so many exciting recipes I’ve had on my list! This afternoon we had cooler weather and a freeezer full of pre-blanched cauliflower so I decided to give it a go. Realised halfway through I had just, if not less of vege stock paste (*gasp!) and NO chicken. I almost bailed on the recipe! I mean, stock is like garlic… 1 tbsp means *and then some 🙂 Thank goodness I persevered! I also added regular supermarket (pure unsalted) butter, and SM Italian spice mix because that’s all I had. I also threw in a sliced coupe of cloves of garlic with the chicken (because… garlic! Delish!) then threw it into the cauli mix when it came time to blend. I blended to about 1:20secs (because blending hot liquids terrifies me and my TM31 sounded like it was going to take off!) I had to add aboutv3 mins to chicken steaming time BUT put chicken in top shelf of Varoma only. I’m
    sure this is why. This soup is AH-MAZING! Like everyone else stated, it didn’t taste of cauli, but rather creamy goodness. I’ve got another big batch of (frozen) blanched cauli defrosting. Tomorrow, I’ll make another batch sans chicken, then spread the shredded chicken between 2 batches. (I used 600g and find it to be HEAPS. I’d drop it right back to 300g per batch… the cauli soup is a star in its own right! ) Is make it tonight (the recipe takes no more than 30 mins from whoa to go!) but *whispers* no vege or chicken stock. 😳 If you haven’t made this, DO IT! You will not regret it!

  10. I love this, I added a tin of sweet corn and only use 1 chicken breast shredded and parade this as chicken sweet corn soup. It works a treat.

  11. Your HCG recipes have literally saved me from cheating!! Am living off the chicken noodle soup, this soup, the slow cooker roast and cabbage salad!! Thank you for another easy, yet full of flavour dish!

  12. This has been on my to cook list for a few years now. Glad I finally gave it a crack. So delish, so creamy, so easy!! Yum Yum Yum.

    1. 5 stars
      Absolutely delicious!
      Just started cooking your recipes mostly from Spanish and Italian book and since then my kids have said I should open a restaurant. That compliment is all yours! Thank you for sharing your beautiful recipes!
      I’ll keep enjoying this delicious soup!!!

  13. Looked at the ingredients and thought “that will be bland as anything” made it anyway based on countless friends raving.
    OH MY!!! This is so delicious and easy. Can’t even taste cauliflower 😳

  14. Made this for the second time tonight. Oh my goodness! This is one of the tastiest yummy soups I’ve ever had. Will be a regular in house now. Thanks Nik you are amazing !

  15. A warning to others making this recipe in their Bellini: wait till the coup has cooled a bit before blitzing for the 1 minute at the end… I just fused my blade to the jug because it was too hot!

  16. My favourite soup now a days. Thanks Nik for coming up with such an amazing and quick souo for a cold wintery night 😁 bug hit with the fambalino

  17. Oh wow! Made this for the first time and it was so,so delicious!
    Easy to make, filling, creamy, tasty, healthy, recipe saved!!!
    Didn’t taste at all like cauliflower though?

  18. Yum, made this in line with the eating plan I am on. Added kale, turmeric, garlic and then added organic coconut milk. Instead of water/stock I used bone broth as well. Tasted absolutely yummy and gave me meals for the freezer in such a short time. Will definitely be making this again with other variations as well. Wonderful, simple recipe. Thank you 🙂

  19. Ok not fans of this soup not sure why – texture/taste?
    May try again with some garliic and ???
    Parmesan??

    The chicken also was tooo shredded (followed instructions to a T but it looked like cat food mush)

    So I am wondering if I can ‘recycle in some way

    Too wet for pies (thats my usual save)

    Has anyone tried it as a sauce for pasta bake (used Mexican seasoning though so a little odd flavour for pasta bakes but I was wondering if poured it over pasta and whacked some cheese on top and baked in in the oven might get away with it

    Or even just poured over some boiled pasta

    any other ideas

    I dont want to bin it

    Could freeze and give away to a cauli soup lover I guess

  20. Made this for the first time last night and can’t believe how delicious it is!! Now I regret not making it sooner!

  21. Hi, could I please make a suggestion for a tiny tweak to Step 6.

    Could it please say “Break chicken up with spatula. If using butter, add to mixer bowl.”

    I have just misread this step and added the broken up chicken to the mixing bowl here… then I couldnt find the atep to add the butter. *oops*

    I know its little but would help this sleep deprived Mumma… Thanks to you Nik♡ for these lovely recipes

  22. OMG HEAVEN ON A COLD WINTERS DAY!!

    I don’t even like Cauli but this was delicious, so filling and very tasty it was a hit!
    Another great recipe by Nik xx

  23. This was so quick & easy, I really loved it …I’ve eaten it for the past 3 days in a row… so good!!

  24. So hubby actually could not stop raving about this soup., I almost had to tell him to just shut up and enjoy it. He has requested it go on rotation at our place! Yum, well done!

  25. Thanks Nik! This was delish. I threw a few cloves of garlic into the steamer basket to steam with the chicken (thinly sliced first) then blitzed them into the cauli purée at the end. Oh, and adding Parmesan when serving… Bliss!

  26. I don’t normally bother to leave comments on websites but this soup is AMAZINGLY good. I’m doing an HGC protocol at the moment and was delighted with how much flavour this has. I am not a thermomix owner so I just poached my chicken in a saucepan in veggie stock that I had saved from cooking vegetables and used that as my chicken stock base. I boiled up my cauliflower in this stock (and added some onion and garlic) and then blitzed with a hand held blender.
    Thanks so much

  27. Wow. That was delicious. Kids had no idea that the creamy chicken soup was actually cauliflower. Thanks

  28. Nik this was delicious! Thank you again for sharing your creations. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers for breakfast… And lunch 😉

  29. Oh Nik this is amazing! I didnt have fresh cauli so used mixed frozen vege and it was delicious! Mexican Spice on the chicken is to die for! Thankyou <3

  30. I am obsessed with this recipe. Make it weekly but o use a good quality chicken stock cube. One of the yummiest things I’ve ever tasted!’

  31. I have loved every other skinnymixer’s recipes I have made so far but did not like this one at all unfortunately. Tipped it down the sink 🙁
    I guess you can’t love everything but giving it a go is important.

      1. I know! It’s so disappointing when you spend time cooking and then throw it away. This is what I did to make it better…. ALWAYS add the butter. When steaming chicken add loads of sliced garlic, then add that into the bowl when shredding too. I also added a cupful (or so!) of frozen peas while it sat in the thermosever. Much tastier! I’m not sure how the peas will go on the reheat but I’ll let you know!

      2. This is what I did….

      3. Mine was really watery because I used Frozen cauliflower (they’re currently $10 each!) it was very watery so I put a glug of thick cream and another tbsp of stock and some garlic powder in. What a difference. Super delish! Topped it with bacon, pine nuts and Parmesan.

  32. I hate cauliflower. As a child my mum and aunts used to try and hide it in everything and I could always taste it.
    I put this recipe off for so long and finally gave in tonight. SO GLAD I DID!!
    I made it according to recipe – P2 so no butter – and added 2 tsp of curry powder as I thought this might help to disguise the taste. Well it certainly worked.

    Another AMAZING healthy recipe. Thank you!

  33. Super easy and surprisingly flavourful. I’ve never tried cauliflower soup before but I find myself wishing Summer away so I can cuddle up with a nice warm bowl again soon. Reheated well too (though my husband managed to pour his serve onto his belly… kinda hilarious but yeah – it’s pretty molten!)

  34. This has become a firm favourite in our house. My husband loves this especially and its so quick and easy to do.
    I freeze it for my husbands work lunches and this year is our year of getting fit and healthy so can’t wait until your new book comes out..

  35. Absolutely delicious! i was a bit worried that the 7yr olds wouldn’t like it but as with all of your recipes they asked for more!

    Hubby has decided it needs to be put permanently on the menu

  36. This was amazing, I would think it was full of cream if someone made it for me. I seasoned the chicken with sage, onion powder and garlic. I left out the butter and didn’t miss it all all. It will be a regular from now on.

  37. AMAZING!!! It seems as though it would be bland but it is not at all, itll definitely be added to our weekly rotation 🙂

  38. So so easy, yet so delicious! I reduced the pepper a little, as the small child isn’t into spice just yet. Great winter warmer and takes no time or effort.

  39. Thank you, this was absolutely delicious and so quick and easy! Four out of four children also ate it happily enough. Thanks again!

  40. This meal is a staple for me on and off hcg. Sometimes I’ll just make the soup and add things like prawns or other meat afterwards, do versatile and so delicious!

  41. Holy Moly Nik!!!! I am a cauliflower HATER, have never liked it, my childhood nightmare. I put this recipe off for that reason, but night 17 on hcg p2, looking for a quick dinner I thought I would try it…. AMAZING!!!!!!! So so so delicious!!! I quartered recipe (200g cauli 200g chicken etc) for two hcg meals, but think it will be best to stick to full recipe in the future. I stuffed it up (in my hungry haste) and put chicken into simmering basket instead of steaming tray, it cooked in the 15 minutes and was still perfect.

  42. Soup hating husband declared this to be “the best thing made in the machine” and couldnt believe how few ingredients it had. Miss 14 tells me this is now her favourite meal and could eat it every day. DELICIOUS

  43. I made this in my Bellini Intelli. It needed an extra 10 minutes to cook the chicken, but it was worth the wait! This is a fantastic recipe!

  44. This is one of the yummiest meals I’ve made in my Thermomix. Both hubby and I love it and have made it many times!

  45. I eat more of this than another food!! I love this soup so much…..Is the yummiest soup ever. Its awesome with the chicken or as a variation for the LCHF crew I do the cauliflowers soup and fry up some chopped bacon in ghee. I then top the portions of soup with a couple of slices of butter, parmesan and bacon. I LOVE this soup!!!!!

  46. Took this to work to share and everyone LOVED it! So easy to make and love that there are only a few ingredients!!

  47. Lovely soup. Not being a huge cauliflower eater I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was amazed at how creamy and tasty the soup was without the addition of any cream. ( I did add the butter and I made and used the mexican spice ) I am glad I gave it a go and will definitely make it again. My 11yo , who doesn’t eat soup was happy to give it a go and we are having left overs for dinner again tonight. My own lack of thermo lingo had me placing the chicken in the “dish” not the top “tray” and needed to cook chicken a little longer but I will nail it next time.

  48. Wow….just wow! I served mine with leftover pulled pork and the flavours were delicious. Thanks Nik for another yummy recipe for a fast day ☺

  49. Another fab recipe!!! Haven’t had a fault yet with any of them! Thanks so much for sharing your love of food and making it so simple and quick, hubby and miss 2 loved it aswell x

  50. What the? This soup is absolutely delicious and filling. My whole family inhaled it. I have to be honest, I didn’t think it was going to be anything special with so few ingredients to it but boy was I wrong. Will definitely make this again. Thanks Nik. xo

  51. Just made this for dinner tonight and had a quick taste test. This is delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for another great recipe.

  52. Miss 14yr said it was the best thing she has ever tasted. So easy to do. I needed to cook the chicken for another 5mins. Thanks again for another great recipe!!

  53. WOW this soup is so creamy and yummy!! I love the flexibility of this one – add any spice to the chicken and yum! I used chicken thigh and though it was delicious. Will definitely be a regular.

  54. This soup is so awesome. It’s very easy and is perfect for calorie watching and has a good amount of protein. It’s great for lunch or dinner, and freezes well. Plus it’s so so yummy! I don’t even like cauliflower, but think I’d have an anxiety attack if I didn’t have some made up in my freezer or at the very least the ingredients in the fridge. Also have found it good when I’ve had a cold and decreased appetite as very warming and nutritious.

  55. I’ve had a cauliflower sitting in the fridge for almost 2 weeks! (GASP- I know it’s crazy that I haven’t used it up yet). It’s a cold and wet day today, so I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Cue Google “skinnymixers cauliflower soup” and less than 20minutes later I’m sitting down with a big bowl of creamy wholesome soup. Wonderful Nik!!

  56. WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! I cannot believe how creamy AND tasty this soup is! Thanks for yet another amazing recipe. You’re a superstar!

  57. So tasty and simple! Enjoyed by 2 10 year olds, even the fusspot, not soup lover smashed it down!
    Both are equally besotted with the Mexican seasoning. Delish!

  58. Seriously delicious! Hubby & Mr 13 didn’t seem keen when I told them we were having soup for dinner so I made it as an entree and prepared veggies & meat as a main. We didn’t make it to the main … The boys loved the soup so much they went back for more and were full up! The chicken makes it more substantial plus I served with home made garlic bread.
    I’ve since made it again but with different veggies as I was low on cauli and it still worked a treat – I used a mix of cauli, carrot, sweet potato & zucchini. Delicious! Thank you!!

  59. I was surprised that with so few ingredients that this soup is so tasty. Definitely in my top 3 soups ever. The chicken takes it more into the meal category for those people who don’t think soup is a meal by itself. This is!!

  60. Great Soup! I have been having this everyday for lunch (and sometimes dinner) for the last month – still not tired of it! So good.

  61. Oh Em Geeeeee!!! ?
    Delicious soup with or without the chicken! A staple for winter lunches on cold days!! Freezes and reheats easily as well!

  62. Yummo! I didn’t have any chicken so I made it without that and consequently no seasoning. Still awesome.

  63. Just yum yum yum…. super delish. Made in the morning for a super quick supper later that day and it reheated beautifully.

  64. Kids & hubby scoffed it down, no complaints. Onto a winner with this one, will be a regular in our household.

  65. This was so easy and extremely flavoursome. The entire family loved it and it will certainly be a regular dish on our weekly menu.

  66. Just made this in my Kitchenaid Cook Processor! Was a bit worried as the Kitchenaid will not let you steam and stir at the same time but worked out perfectly!

  67. Simple yet amazing! The whole family loved it, including fussy 3&5yo! Great to take to work for lunch!

  68. Loved this Nikalene – thank you. Delicious, creamy & filling … & I dont like cauliflower! Lol. Hubby said he liked it better than the Rockpool Cauliflower & Parmesan Soup!

  69. Deliciously Devine!
    I loved how easy it is to achieve such a creamy tasting main meal soup.
    I’ll be making this again; my Family thoroughly enjoyed it.
    Thanks Nik, (again…another one of ‘Nik’s dinner’ added to the list)!

  70. Made this today soooo yummy! Made the spice, didn’t have majoram but used bit extra oregano, fantastic!! Got a whole big bowl for lunches this week, another awesome receipe Nik!

  71. I got excited about the positive comments, but when I tasted it , disappointed. Hot at all creamy – follow the recipe exactly but there was no creaminess.

  72. Holy creamy deception, Batman!
    This was completely gorgeous – devoured by all four of us (no leftovers!). Next time I’m going to try some really crispy bacon bits on top. Dinner winner.

  73. Never thought so few ingredients would taste so good. I used left over bbq chicken that I seasoned with skinnymixers mexican spice mix. Will definitely be making this again. Delicious!

  74. Thanks again Nikalene! I was looking for something other than vegie soup for my healthy eating plan – and this fits the bill beautifully.

  75. Lovely velvety soup. Was a bit worried it may be a bit bland and that I may need to add garlic, nutmeg etc…nope! An easy and tasty meal thank you do much!

  76. Just made the soup. Without chook and it’s tasty as a quick lunch…actually popped some bacon in air fryer and crisped up and sprinkled over the soup yummy yummo

  77. Hey silly question. Is the Mexican mix just used to sprinkle on top at the end or used on the ch icken when steaming it in the varoma?

  78. What a delicious creamy soup (without the cream) with the added benefit of the spicy chicken. This has become a favourite “go to” meal.

  79. I usually don’t like cauliflower but had some in the fridge and whipped this up. It was delicious. Definitely something I would make again. Thanks for another awesome recipe.

  80. This soup is so delicious. Takes no effort either and so easy to whip up. I just made the soup part, didn’t have any chicken but by itself even it was delicious. Worth trying!

  81. Made up a batch of this last week, froze it into individual portions to have as quick easy lunches at work. Defrosted my first one today and it was DELICIOUS!!!! Thanks Nik

  82. Nik l thought you were the curry queen but actually we loved all your curries, pulled pork and this soup ! Micheal and the kids are so lucky to have an amazing recipe developer and cook! Actually we are pretty lucky to have your wonderful recipe in our family homes !! Another thumbs up ! 🙂

  83. Made this tonight for the first time and it is sensational. I didn’t add the butter and it was still creamy and delicious and perfect in cold weather. Nice and filling although it’s hard to stop at one bowl when it tastes so good… Thankyou

  84. I’ve had this on the must do list for quite a while but I was inspired this week because I saw a few posts. Beautiful soup Nikalene. The whole family loved it, especially my fussy 9 year old. I was amazed so few ingredients produced such a great result. So glad I had the mexican spice mix made up and ready to go. Thanks again for sharing your passion and hard work with us.

  85. Love this recipe. If I don’t have enough cauliflower I add the rest of the weight in sweet potato. Yum

  86. My goodness Nik, you have done in again! This is truly divine! My go-to soup for winter. Thank you and love your work 🙂

  87. This is an amazing recipe, one of my favourites. Helps me get through lunches at work on HCG and not feel like reaching for something else!

  88. Who knew cauliflower soup could get so creamy? I seriously doubted the flavour of this soup without garlic or onion and it was amazing without. So quick, and the added chicken was delicious. Hubby kept checking if it had cheese in it!

  89. This was really tasty thanks and very easy. I used smoked paprika and garlic powder as the spice for the chicken 🙂

  90. This was very easy to make. Just whipped up a batch for lunch. Don’t feel deprived at all with a tasty lunch like this. Thank to Nik!

  91. This was the first Skinnymixers recipe I have tried. I didn’t have a chance to pre prepare the Skinnymixers chilli, so I used Mexican chilli I already had. Not only was it so simple to whip up, it was delicious!. Thank you!

  92. One of my favourite recipes!! ive accidentally made it with thigh and didnt like it as much so definitely use it with breast as the recipe says – the spice mixture in it gives it an awesome flavour and stops it being too plain!

  93. Well what can I say, she’s done it again. Every dish I try is amazing! This one is making my weekly lunch menu for sure. So quick, so simple, yet so delicious. Know one would know it has no cream, because it’s so creamy! Love it!
