Creamy Cauliflower Delight

Ingredients:

• 1 large cauliflower head, chopped into florets
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
2. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, carefully puree the mixture until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and vent the lid to release steam as necessary.
4. Return the blended cauliflower mixture to the pot, and stir in the milk, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or milk to achieve the desired consistency.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley. Pair it with warm crusty bread or crispy croutons for an extra touch.

Enjoy this heavenly cream of cauliflower soup that provides a perfect balance of flavors and a creamy, satisfying texture. It’s a nutritious and comforting dish that will earn you rave reviews from family and friends alike.
