Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion and slice the leek (use only the white and light green parts).
- Clean and chop the cauliflower into small florets.
- 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.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot with the sautéed onions and leeks. Stir everything together.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
