Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium head Cauliflower, chopped into small florets
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and slightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped cauliflower, carrots, and celery to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the oil and aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm with crusty bread, if desired.
