Tip

Like most soups, cauliflower soup often tastes great the next day as the flavours have had time to meld together. Consider preparing a larger batch and refrigerating it overnight. This way, you will have a convenient and delightful meal ready to enjoy the next day. Alternatively, you can freeze it for later, giving you a quick and effortless option when you are short on time.

Questions about lactose-free cauliflower soup

Looking for a comforting lactose-free dinner that is simple to prepare? Look no further than this delightful recipe for lactose-free cauliflower soup with turmeric. Keep reading to discover more about this mouth-watering dish.

Do you use fresh or frozen cauliflower for lactose-free cauliflower soup?
Even though we opted for fresh cauliflower florets in our recipe, you can easily use frozen, too. However, frozen cauliflower releases more water during cooking, so the cooking time might take longer. Let it simmer until all excess water has evaporated before proceeding with the recipe.
What to serve with lactose-free cauliflower soup?
For a delightful addition to the lactose-free cauliflower soup, we suggest serving it with roasted pumpkin seeds and freshly chopped coriander to add a nutty crunch and a vibrant, herbal freshness. You can also pair it with a refreshing salad. A green salad with tangy vinaigrette or a roasted vegetable salad with zesty dressing complements the soup perfectly. For added protein, grilled chicken or shrimp are delicious options that harmonise with the flavours of the soup.
How to store lactose-free cauliflower soup?
If you end up with leftovers or prepare a larger batch, do not worry. It can easily be stored in the fridge or freezer, ensuring quick and convenient meals later. Allow it to cool before transferring it to airtight containers – several portion-sized or one large container. Refrigerate for up to four days or freeze it for up to 3 months using freezer-safe containers. When you are ready to enjoy it, gently reheat the soup in a saucepan, adjusting the consistency as desired.
