Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and discard the hard core. Rinse the florets under cold water and set them aside.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion and garlic.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir well to coat them in the butter.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Simmer gently for another 5 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
