Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Truffle oil for drizzling (optional)
  • Microgreens for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped cauliflower to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, approximately 20 minutes.
  4. Using a blender or an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth.

Helpful Tips

  • For added flavor: Roast the cauliflower in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes before adding it to the pot.
  • Storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Substitutions: Swap heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option, or use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth for added richness.

Pairings

This Creamy Cauliflower Soup pairs beautifully with a fresh arugula salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette or serve alongside crusty bread for dipping. For beverages, a chilled glass of white wine or a warm cup of herbal tea would complement the flavors perfectly.
