Creamy Cauliflower Soup

A smooth, comforting cauliflower soup blended with aromatics, broth, and cream for a rich yet light flavor—perfect as a cozy appetizer or meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for lighter version)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp thyme (optional)
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add cauliflower florets, broth, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes or until cauliflower is very tender.
  5. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently for 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add 1 potato or 1/2 cup shredded cheese before blending.
  • Make it vegan by using coconut milk instead of cream.
  • Top with crispy bacon or croutons for added texture.
