Time 45m

Yield Makes 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Sea salt
1 medium head cauliflower (about 3 pounds), florets and stems cut into 1-inch pieces (8 to 9 cups)

5 large kale or collard leaves, or a combination, tough ends removed and leaves roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Cauliflower, Swiss Chard, and Chicken Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Pasta     Poultry     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     High Fiber     Low/No Sugar     Winter     Healthy     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 8 cups, serving 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed lightly
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
3 cups 1-inch cauliflower flowerets (about 1 small head)
1/2 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups chopped red Swiss chard leaves, washed well and drained

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart heavy saucepan cook onion and caraway seeds in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Stir in cauliflower and orzo and simmer, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes. Stir in chicken and Swiss chard and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Soup may be made 3 days ahead, cooled, uncovered, and chilled, covered.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cauliflower: A fresh, firm cauliflower will produce the best soup. Look for one with tightly packed florets and no signs of browning or bruising.
  • Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. You can roast the cauliflower in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even bone broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooking the soup will make the cauliflower mushy and bland.
  • Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cauliflower soup include shredded cheese, croutons, bacon, and chives. You can also add a swirl of cream or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture and delicate flavor, cauliflower soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
