Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Peel and dice the potatoes.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped cauliflower and diced potatoes to the pot.
- Pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth.
- Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until it's smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches using a regular blender, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of light sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the creamy cauliflower soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or some croutons.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious creamy cauliflower soup!
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider roasting the cauliflower and potatoes before adding them to the soup. Simply toss them in olive oil, spread them on a baking sheet, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
- Use an immersion blender to easily blend the soup directly in the pot, or transfer it in batches to a countertop blender. Be careful with hot liquids to avoid any accidents.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika for an added depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can reduce the amount of chicken gravy or let the soup simmer longer to evaporate more liquid.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill for a fresh and vibrant finish.
- To make the soup vegetarian, substitute the chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
Enjoy your warm, creamy cauliflower soup with a side of crusty bread or a light salad. This wholesome recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household, offering a perfect blend of flavors and nourishment to satisfy your taste buds and leave you feeling satisfied.
