Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth low-sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic until soft.
  • Add the cauliflower florets and broth, bringing it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Chef's Tip: If using a countertop blender instead of an immersion blender, work in batches and vent the lid - hot soup expands fast and can blow the top off. Keto Swap: a traditional potato-based soup is replaced with cauliflower - it purees to the same creamy consistency with far fewer carbs.
