Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower (1 medium head, roughly chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and roughly chop the cauliflower into florets, discarding the leaves and tough stem ends.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
Turn off the heat and let the soup cool slightly for safety. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the almond milk. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using), adjusting to taste.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is warmed through.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy piping hot!
