Creamy Cauliflower Soup
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
3 tbsp Butter, unsalted 1 medium (2-1/2" dia) Onions, raw 9 cup Cauliflower, raw 2 cup Milk, 1% 2 cup Half and Half Cream 8 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, shredded 0.25 tsp Salt 0.25 tsp Pepper, black
Melt the butter in a larget stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, pepper, and cauliflower. Cook, stirring occasionally, until th ecauliflower is almost tender, about 20 minutes. Remove about 1 cup worth of cauliflower; set aside to use as a garnish.
Add the milk, cream, and water to the cauliflower mixture and increase the heat to high; bring to a simmer. Add the Parmesan. Simmer for 30 minutes, removing the foam as it simmers.
After 30 minutes, remove the soup pot from the heat. Working in batches small enough for your blender, or using an immersion blender, puree the cauliflower mixture. If using a blender or food processor, make sure to vent to allow hot steam to escape. Taste and add more salt or pepper as needed.
Serve garnished with the reserved sauteed cauliflower and fresh parsley or chives. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to two days.
For spicier soup, add one finely chopped jalapeno along with the onion.
