Ingredients:

8 tbsp butter
110g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 onion
110g
1/2 cup leek
44g
1 cauliflower
590g
2 cups chicken broth
480g
2 cups water
470g
2 tbsp fresh thyme
4.80g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Chop the onion and slice the leek (use only the white and light green parts).
- Clean and chop the cauliflower into small florets.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sliced leek to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are translucent and soft.
3. Add the Cauliflower:
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot with the sautéed onions and leeks. Stir everything together.
4. Season and Simmer:
- Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir to combine.
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
5. Blend the Soup:
- Once the cauliflower is tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. If using a blender, return the blended soup to the pot.
6. Finish the Soup:
- Stir in the fresh thyme and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the thyme is well distributed.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, a sprig of thyme, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve your delicious Keto Cauliflower Parmesan Soup hot. This soup makes for a perfect low-carb, comforting meal.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, consider blending the soup using an immersion blender or a regular blender until you reach your desired consistency.

- If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, you can increase the amount of Parmesan or mix in other keto-friendly cheeses such as cheddar or mozzarella.

- To add an additional layer of flavor, sauté the onions and leeks in the butter until they are golden brown before adding the cauliflower.

- Consider garnishing with a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of sour cream for added richness and flavor.

- Make sure to taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Some might prefer a pinch more salt or pepper to suit their palates.

- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, making it a convenient meal prep option.

There you have it–a delectable keto cauliflower parmesan soup that promises to be both nutritious and satisfying. With the perfect balance of creamy texture and rich flavors, this soup is sure to become a staple in your keto recipe collection.
