Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, and chop the head into small florets. Rinse well under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the cauliflower florets, vegetable broth, and almond milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, being cautious of the heat.
Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Reheat the soup over low heat if necessary. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
