Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for dairy-free option
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: grated cheese, chopped chives, or crispy bacon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by chopping the cauliflower into small florets and dicing the onion. Mince the garlic cloves for added flavor.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped cauliflower florets to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender or transfer the contents to a blender to puree the soup until ultra-smooth. Be cautious of hot liquids and blend in batches if necessary.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk for a creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup gently until warmed through.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the soup gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed to loosen the consistency.
  • You can customize this soup with additional toppings like grated cheese, chopped chives, or crispy bacon for added flavor.
