Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cauliflower – roughly chopped into florets.
- 1 large onion – finely chopped.
- 2 garlic cloves – minced.
- 1 potato – peeled and diced (for added creaminess).
- 1 liter (35 fl oz) vegetable stock – the base of the soup.
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg – adds warmth and flavor.
- 2 tbsp olive oil – for sautéing.
- Salt and pepper – to taste for seasoning.
- Fresh parsley (optional) – for garnish.
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the onion and garlic
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 2: Add the cauliflower and potato
- Stir in the cauliflower florets and diced potato, cooking for 3-4 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften slightly.
Step 3: Pour in the vegetable stock
- Add the vegetable stock, ensuring the cauliflower and potato are fully submerged. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Blend the soup
- Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, carefully blend in batches to avoid overfilling.
Step 5: Season and serve
- Stir in the ground nutmeg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the Jamie Oliver Cauliflower Soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
