🍴 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.
