Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth I use Better than Bouillon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 13.5 ounce can full fat coconut milk
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your cauliflower: Rinse the cauliflower, then remove the stem and outer leaves. Chop the cauliflower into florets. Set aside. You can also use pre-chopped or frozen cauliflower to make this recipe even easier!
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- To the pot, add the cauliflower florets, vegetable broth, dried thyme and stir. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
- Using an immersion blender (or transfer in batches to a blender), blend until smooth and creamy. You can also leave some texture if desired.
- Stir in the coconut milk, to taste. I used almost the whole can and all of the white, creamy part. You can use more or less as desired for creaminess.
- Add salt + pepper to taste, and serve hot.
Notes
- If you don't like coconut milk or want a different option, you can also blend the soup with 1/2-1 cup of raw cashews in a high powered blender. OR stir in Cashew Cream to taste.
- For a less creamy soup, you can omit the coconut milk altogether. It's still quite good! This will change the nutritional information considerably.
- This soup will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and can also be frozen.
