Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Мethod of preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower
Start by chopping the cauliflower into florets. This will help ensure even cooking. Set it aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2: Sauté the Base
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Cauliflower
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 4: Blend the Soup
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend only part of the soup. For those without an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and process until smooth.
Step 5: Add Cream and Nutmeg
Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a regular blender) and stir in the heavy cream. Add the ground nutmeg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this hearty soup.
