Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 slices (optional, for serving) crusty bread
Instructions
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and break it into small florets. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the potato cubes and cauliflower florets to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for 4 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable stock and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a regular blender, taking care not to overfill it.
Return the soup to the pot, and stir in the heavy cream, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot with slices of crusty bread on the side, if desired.
