Ingredients

• 3 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 small Onion, diced
• 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the cauliflower florets in a large pot of salted water for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower back into the pot along with the almond milk and heavy cream. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.

Step 4

Add the frozen corn kernels to the pot, stirring them into the creamy mixture.

Step 5

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Let the soup simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until it's completely melted and well incorporated into the soup.

Step 7

Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped chives for a touch of color and flavor.
