Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean and cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Dice the ham into small pieces.
- Finely chop the fresh thyme.
- In a large pot, combine the cauliflower florets, chicken broth, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
- Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup back to the pot.
- Stir in the diced ham.
- Add the vinegar and fresh thyme to the pot. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Add the butter to the soup and stir until it's fully melted and combined.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or pepper according to your preference.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of the cauliflower before adding it to the pot.
- Using high-quality chicken broth will enhance the overall flavor of the soup.
- To add a bit of texture, consider adding diced vegetables like carrots or celery.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste, as the amount of salt needed can vary based on the saltiness of the ham and broth.
- For a creamier consistency, you can add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end.
This low-carb cauliflower and ham soup is both nourishing and flavorful, making it a perfect addition to your meal rotation. Not only is it easy to prepare, but it's also versatile enough to be personalized with your favorite ingredients and seasonings. Enjoy this comforting dish as a stand-alone meal or pair it with a fresh salad for a delightful culinary experience.
