cauliflower soup

Cauliflower soup is a creamy and comforting dish that’s easy to make and full of flavor. Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious cauliflower soup:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium cauliflower (about 4 cups florets)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
• 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream (for creamier soup)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cauliflower: Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and chop it into florets.

2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Cook the cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.

5. Blend the soup: Once the cauliflower is tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, blending until creamy.

6. Add cream and season: Stir in the milk or heavy cream to make the soup creamier. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Enjoy your cozy bowl of cauliflower soup!
