This simple cauliflower soup is a creamy and flavorful dish that is quick and easy to prepare. With just a handful of ingredients, including cauliflower, potato, and milk, you can whip up a comforting and nutritious soup that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the cauliflower into small florets.
- Peel and dice the potato.
- Chop the onion.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped cauliflower and diced potato to the pot with the onions.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- 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 countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Stir in the milk and bring the soup back to a simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Tips:
- Be sure to cut the cauliflower and potato into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- For a richer flavor, consider roasting the cauliflower and potato before adding them to the soup.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can adjust the consistency by adding more potatoes or reducing the amount of vegetable broth.
- To make the soup vegan, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond milk or coconut milk and use vegan butter.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
