Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat with the oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.
Let the soup simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the soup over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 more minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
