Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup optional shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cauliflower florets and frozen corn kernels. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth along with the unsweetened almond milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
If desired, stir in the optional shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well incorporated.
Adjust the seasoning if needed, and serve hot, garnished with additional thyme or cheese as desired.
