I love creamy soups! They’re so comforting! This cream of cauliflower soup is rich and flavorful with few ingredients and dairy free, although you could easily substitute milk or half and half if you prefer.
There’s very little preparation. Saute some onion and garlic. Add cauliflower, stock and a little nutmeg and simmer for 30 minutes. A little truffle oil added at the end amps up the rich flavor of this creamy cauliflower soup. Then puree with an immersion blender or in a blender.
Pair this luscious cream of cauliflower soup with a green salad and you’ve got a simple, satisfying meal. It’s quite healthy, too, although it seems so indulgent!
