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:
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
