Ingredients for Cauliflower Soup
Here’s what you’ll need, and a few variations, before you get started:
- The veggies: Roughly chopped cauliflower and yellow onions. If you’re feeling creative, you can always mix in a few other roasted vegetables along with your roasted cauliflower and onions.
- The broth: Veggie broth provides the base for the soup while keeping things vegetarian. Along with butter, sauteed garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice. You can add more herbs, and use a different broth if you prefer.
Topping Ideas
Enhance your creamy cauliflower soup with various toppings, such as:
- Toasted nuts: Crushed toasted almonds or walnuts for texture.
- Fresh herbs: Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives for a burst of fresh.
- Drizzle of olive oil: A swirl of high-quality olive oil can elevate the soup’s richness.
- Fresh croutons: Add texture and a delicious way to soak up extra soup.
- Bacon crumbles: Because they would be absolutely perfect here.
How to Make the Best Cauliflower Soup
- Prepare Ingredients: Roast the onion and cauliflower until the onion is translucent.
- Cooking Process: Add butter and minced garlic to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, chopped rosemary, and roasted veggies and simmer.
- Blending: Add the lemon juice and use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Finishing Touch: Adjust seasoning if necessary before ladling into bowls and enjoy.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy your creamy cauliflower soup on its own (seriously, it’s that kind of good!) or alongside:
- Crusty Bread: Perfect for soaking it up.
- Salad: Pair the soup with a light salad such as this arugula salad or this fennel salad.
- Bulk it up: With a sandwich for a well-balanced meal.
How to Store and Reheat Leftover Soup
- Storage: Allow the soup to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Gently reheat the soup on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave, just be sure to pause and stir frequently. Add a splash of broth or water if needed to adjust the consistency.
