Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and stem, and then cut it into small florets. Rinse well under cold water.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir the cauliflower florets into the pot, coating them in the buttery onion mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, allow the soup to cool slightly, then blend in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 7

Return the soup to the pot (if blended in a countertop blender) and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer gently for 5 more minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning to taste, and serve hot in bowls topped with fresh parsley for a pop of color, if desired.
