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
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for sautéing)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Chop the onion and garlic finely. Cut the cauliflower into manageable florets for even cooking.
- Sauté onions and garlic: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Cook cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir well, cooking for around 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld slightly.
- Add broth and simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth, increase the heat to bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the cauliflower is tender. This will take approximately 15 minutes.
- Blend the soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer the soup carefully to a regular blender to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Finish and serve: Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk to add richness, then season with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Warm through and serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika during the sauté step.
- If you prefer a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth or water when blending.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Use a high-speed blender for an extra smooth texture.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
