Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables: chop the cauliflower into florets, slice the carrots and celery, dice the zucchini and yellow onion, and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, and zucchini to the pot. Stir occasionally and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to become tender.
Add the cauliflower florets into the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until all vegetables are soft.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer small batches into a countertop blender, but be cautious with the hot liquid.
Return the pureed soup to the pot if using a countertop blender. Stir in coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Serve the creamy vegetable puree warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
