Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
Liquids
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
Other
- Olive oil for sautéing (about 1-2 tablespoons)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves carefully. Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and soft, approximately 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute to release its fragrance.
- Cook Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir well, cooking for about 5 minutes to start softening the florets.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently until the cauliflower is tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender or by carefully transferring to a regular blender in batches, blend the soup until it becomes completely smooth and creamy.
- Finish Soup: Return the blended soup to low heat, stir in the full-fat coconut milk, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Warm through gently before serving.
Notes
- For a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth or water until desired consistency is reached.
- You can substitute coconut milk with any other plant-based milk for a lighter soup.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika can enhance the flavor profile.
- To make it gluten-free, verify that the vegetable broth is gluten-free certified.
- This soup freezes well; store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
