Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a dairy-free option
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped parsley, crispy bacon, shredded cheese
Instructions
- Begin by heating the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped cauliflower and sauté for another 5 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring the cauliflower is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
- Using an immersion blender or regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot, then stir in heavy cream or coconut milk for a creamy texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as chopped parsley, shredded cheese, or crispy bacon before serving hot.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, blend in a cooked potato or add a splash of cornstarch dissolved in water during simmering.
- Use coconut milk to make it vegan and dairy-free.
- Adding shredded cooked chicken can boost protein content.
- Enhance flavor with seasonings like cumin, chili powder, or herbs.
