Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick butter
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 cauliflower head, cored and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 to 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
Ground black pepper
1 heaping cup sour cream, at room temperature
Warm rolls or crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
  • Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
  • You will love everything about this.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor, choose a head of cauliflower that is heavy for its size and has tightly packed florets.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked cauliflower will become mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish: A garnish can help to add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Some good options include chopped parsley, croutons, or grated cheese.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soup is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Cauliflower soup is also a good choice for people who are following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
