This Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Bacon recipe comes from my friend Genevieve’s new cookbook: The 5-Ingredient Paleo Cookbook: 100+ Easy Recipes for Busy People on the Paleo Diet. The Roasted Cauliflower Soup is creamy, easy, paleo, and Whole30-compliant.
How much do I love cauliflower? A lot. Almost as much as I love bacon.
I always have cauliflower around. I turn it into rice for stir-fries, I mix it 50/50 with potatoes for a hearty mash, and I make it into the creamiest sauce for Mac and Cheese. This veggie does it all.
I especially love making cauliflower soup. It’s cozy, creamy, and not super guilty. And I think I’ve found my new favorite.
This recipe in The 5-Ingredient Paleo Cookbook uses roasted cauliflower, which is genius, and gives the soup so much more flavor. The soup also includes bacon (!) and coconut cream. It’s delicious, easy to make, and paleo and Whole30-friendly.
Genevieve also runs the blog Fitty Foodlicious, so definitely check it out for more healthy recipe inspiration. She recently shared another recipe from her cookbook on there, Avocado Egg Cups!
This Roasted Cauliflower Soup recipe was so easy and I will be making it again and again.

- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 servings 1x
Description
This Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Bacon from The 5-Ingredient Paleo Cookbook is creamy, rich, easy, paleo, and Whole30 compliant.
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package nitrate-free bacon
- 2 pounds cauliflower, cut into florets
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups full-fat coconut cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, chop, and set aside.
- Spread the cauliflower florets evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, until crispy but not too brown.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a large saucepan. Over low heat, add the chicken stock, coconut cream, and garlic. Simmer for 1 hour.
- Add the chopped bacon and simmer until thick and creamy, about 10 more minutes
- Season with sea salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs, if you’d like. Enjoy!
Notes
I tossed the cauliflower in a bit of the bacon fat before roasting.
I blended 3/4 of the soup because I like my cauliflower soup creamy with a little bite, and then added the bacon.

Great concept, I have made it but as always can’t help to tweek the recipe, avoided the coconut cream, added extra cauliflower and more bacon and garlic, absolutely divine. The extra cauliflower adds the much required body to the soup.

Terrible I’m so annoyed I made this recipe I hope I can save anyone else from making it. I followed it to a t and it came out like watery milk.

I’m not following a paleo diet, but this still looks amazing. I wonder how it would taste if I replaced the coconut milk with something else.
You could certainly do dairy as a replacement, if you’d like!

I typically eat cauliflower raw. I have never tried it in soup before though. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to try califlower soup even when it is warmer outside. I would have to remove the bacon.
We’re more of a turkey bacon family. Would be interesting to substitute it in the recipe. Thanks for this.
This recipe is awesome. I totally love cauliflower! It was my go-to food when I was on a keto diet. Love this soup!
