Main Ingredients
  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Can be adjusted to taste.
  • 4 cups vegetable broth Chicken broth can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Coconut milk can be used for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste Adds flavor to the soup.
Optional Toppings
  • croutons, freshly chopped herbs, or a sprinkle of cheese Customize based on preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent—about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets and stir; cook for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook for another 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
  3. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until it reaches a silky-smooth consistency.
  4. Slowly stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

Roasting the cauliflower before adding it to the pot enhances its flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. Add broth while reheating if the soup thickens too much. Pureed soup is a great way to sneak in extra veggies for picky eaters.
