A creamy and comforting cauliflower soup that’s easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy meal. This popular soup combines tender cauliflower, sautéed onions and garlic, and rich broth, all blended into a smooth and velvety texture. You can enjoy it with heavy cream for a traditional version or coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative, garnished with fresh herbs and optional cheese for added flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head of fresh cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Fats

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a dairy-free version

Seasonings & Garnish

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
  • Optional: 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or Parmesan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Chop the cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy blending later.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook Cauliflower with Broth: Add the chopped cauliflower to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, making sure the cauliflower is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree. Return the blended soup to the pot if needed.
  5. Add Cream and Seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk to add richness and a smooth texture. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and sprinkle with optional grated cheese for extra flavor before serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
  • You can use either vegetable or chicken broth depending on your preference for a vegetarian or non-vegetarian option.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more broth or cream to make it thinner or richer, respectively.
  • The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the cream or coconut milk.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika can enhance the flavor profile.
