Silky, comforting, and surprisingly rich without being heavy, this cauliflower soup delivers pure cozy vibes with every spoonful. It’s easy to whip up, budget-friendly, and perfect for chilly nights or light lunches.

🍴 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh thyme or chives, for garnish
• Grated Parmesan or croutons (optional toppings)

🔥 Instructions

Sauté the Base:
Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Simmer the Cauliflower:
Add the cauliflower florets and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork-tender.

Blend Until Smooth:
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Or carefully transfer to a blender in batches. Stir in the milk or cream (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve and Garnish:
Ladle into bowls and top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, grated Parmesan, or crunchy croutons for added texture.
