This soup is a great way to enjoy cauliflower’s subtle flavor in a comforting, wholesome meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • To make one large pot (serves 4-6), gather the following ingredients:
  • 1 large cauliflower, roughly chopped (about 500g/1 lb): The star ingredient that gives the soup its mild flavor.
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped: Adds sweetness and depth to the soup.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional): For an extra layer of flavor.
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil: For sautéing the vegetables.
  • 1 liter (4 cups) vegetable or chicken stock: Forms the base of the soup.
  • 150ml (½ cup) double cream or milk (optional): Adds a creamy finish.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste: For seasoning.
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish): Adds a fresh touch and color.

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

  • Heat the butter or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic (if using), and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Step 2: Add the Cauliflower and Stock

  • Stir in the chopped cauliflower and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 3: Blend the Soup

  • Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup.
  • Stir in the double cream or milk (if using) for a creamy finish.

Step 4: Season and Serve

  • Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
