What’s better than cheese and cream in a soup during the cold wintery months, nothing right. That’s what you get with this soup. My mother used to make it for me as an after-school warm-up before dinner. I loved it and still do.
Ingredients are simple for cauliflower soup!
Ingredients
2 large onions peeled and chopped
3 regular heads of cauliflower outer leaves discarded, chopped into small florets
5 cups hot vegetable or chicken stock either homemade or use 3-4 stock cubes with water, use bouillon for gluten-free
¾ tsp garlic salt
8.8 oz mature/strong cheddar cheese plus some extra to sprinkle on top
2/3 cup double/heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
How to
make this cream of cauliflower soup
I start out
by chopping up the cauliflower. I use 1 large head of cauliflower or 2-3 medium
cauliflowers for this – which is enough to make 10 servings of soup. That’s
lunch for a few days and a few portions for the freezer.
Fry
chopped onion in a little olive oil in a large saucepan (you’ll need plenty of
room for that cauliflower, so make sure it’s a big pan). Add in cauliflower,
stock, and garlic salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
Take off the heat and blend using a hand blender or scoop out into a large blender or Vitamix machine until completely pulverized. Put back on the heat, add in cheddar cheese and cream, and stir until the cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper and serve with a grilled cheese sandwich or a fresh baguette.
