Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the head of cauliflower into small florets, and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, taking care not to let it burn.
- Next, add the chopped cauliflower to the pot and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower begins to soften.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- After the cauliflower is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches, but be sure to let it cool slightly first to avoid splattering.
- Once the soup is blended to your desired consistency, return it to the pot (if using a countertop blender) and stir in the almond milk. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary to suit your preference.
- To serve, ladle the warm cauliflower soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
- Enjoy your clean eating cauliflower soup as a healthy and delicious meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your cauliflower, onion, and garlic ahead of time. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook, making the process even quicker.
- Sautéing Technique: Make sure to sauté the onions until they are translucent; this enhances their sweetness and adds depth to the soup's flavor.
- Blending Options: If you don’t have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly before transferring it to a countertop blender. This will prevent any splattering and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Adjust the Creaminess: Feel free to adjust the amount of almond milk based on your preference for creaminess. For a richer soup, add a bit more!
- Garnish for Flavor: Don't skip the fresh chives! They add a burst of color and a subtle onion flavor that elevates the dish.
- Storage: This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently on the stove for a quick meal!
- Experiment with Seasonings: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of smoked paprika for an extra flavor twist that can take your soup to the next level.Enjoy your cooking adventure with this delightful Clean Eating Cauliflower Soup!
