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
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 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.
- Using a blender or an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through but do not boil.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with truffle oil and garnish with microgreens for a touch of elegance.
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.
