Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 slices Bread
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and chop the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

Peel and dice the onion and garlic.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.

Step 6

While the soup simmers, prepare the croutons. Cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the croutons are golden and crispy. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the soup is done simmering, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender (in batches if necessary). Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the crispy croutons. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
