Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and chop it into florets. Discard the leaves and core.
- In a large pot, bring the 4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling broth.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the cauliflower simmer until it is very tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the cauliflower is tender, remove the pot from the heat.
- Carefully transfer the contents of the pot (including the broth) to a blender. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
- Return the blended soup to the pot, if using a blender.
- Stir in the 1/3 cup of light sour cream until it is fully incorporated into the soup.
- If needed, reheat the soup over low heat until it is warmed through.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with a small dollop of sour cream or some fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, roast the cauliflower in the oven before adding it to the soup.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, subtle spice.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, chives, or a drizzle of olive oil to enhance the presentation and add extra flavor.
- For a vegan version, use a dairy-free sour cream alternative.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth slightly or simmer it for a longer period to reduce.
- Use low-sodium vegetable broth if you are watching your salt intake.
- Blend the soup in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling your blender.
- Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
