Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup frozen vegetable blend (peppers, onions, celery, and parsley)
1 clove garlic, crushed and minced
2 pounds fresh cauliflower, cut into florets
½ pound carrots, sliced
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable broth
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a 4-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Cook and stir vegetables in the hot oil until nearly tender, 7 to 10 minutes; add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Made this for the first time last week - it's definitely a keeper. Gave the recipe to 2 other people who loved it just as much as I do. Remember NOT to brown the vegetables

Provided by Elaine Moretti

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 1h25m

3 Tbsp butter
3 c chopped leeks
1 c chopped celery
3 garlic cloves - chopped
8 c cauliflower florets
6 3/4 c chicken broth - divided
1 c half and half
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
croutons
dill (dried or fresh)

Tips

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor and texture, use a fresh, firm head of cauliflower. Avoid any heads that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Roast the cauliflower before blending: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor. Be sure to roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Season the soup to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings you add to the soup will depend on your personal preference. Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or croutons: Garnishing the soup with fresh herbs or croutons adds a pop of color and flavor. Fresh parsley, chives, or dill are all good options.
