Cream of cauliflower soup

Cream of cauliflower soup is a comforting and delicious dish that's perfect for any season. This easy-to-make recipe combines the mild, nutty flavors of cauliflower with aromatic ground cumin and rich chicken gravy for a delightful taste experience. Whether you're looking for a hearty lunch or a light dinner, this soup is sure to satisfy.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Chop the onion.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
2. Sauté the Onion:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
3. Add the Cumin:
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of ground cumin and cook for another minute to release the aroma, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.
4. Add the Cauliflower:
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and mix well with the onion and cumin.
5. Add the Chicken Broth:
- Pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth, making sure the cauliflower is mostly submerged in the liquid. Add a bit more broth or water if necessary to cover the cauliflower.
6. Simmer the Soup:
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Blend the Soup:
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, blending until smooth and then returning it to the pot.
8. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
9. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a swirl of cream, chopped fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of extra ground cumin.

Tips:

- Make sure to chop the onion finely to ensure even cooking and a smoother texture in the soup.

- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken gravy with vegetable broth.

- If you prefer a thicker soup, use less chicken gravy or simmer the soup for a longer period to reduce the liquid.

- Add a splash of cream or milk for an extra layer of creaminess.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, or add a sprinkle of cheese on top for added flavor.

You've now created a warm, creamy, and flavorful cream of cauliflower soup. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or as a starter for a larger meal. Enjoy your culinary creation with some crusty bread or a simple side salad.
