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

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is dense and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown or yellow spots, as these can indicate spoilage.
  • Trim the cauliflower properly: Remove the tough outer leaves and the thick stem from the cauliflower. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces.
  • Roast the cauliflower before cooking: Roasting the cauliflower before cooking adds a smoky, caramelized flavor to the soup. Simply toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a 425°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Cauliflower soup is best when it is slightly al dente. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy and bland.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With its creamy texture and mild flavor, cauliflower soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Plus, it's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cauliflower soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
