Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped cauliflower and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the vegetables are fully immersed. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot, and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- For a richer flavor: Add a touch of cream or a knob of butter before serving.
- Vegetarian variation: Use vegetable stock and non-dairy milk for a vegan-friendly version.
- Extra twist: Sprinkle some grated cheddar cheese or croutons on top for added texture and taste.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or broth as needed to reach the desired consistency. The soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
