Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped Yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and core, then chop the cauliflower head into florets.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets, low-sodium vegetable broth, almond milk, and bay leaf to the pot.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the pot.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth. Be cautious of the hot liquid to avoid any spills.

Step 9

Season the soup with the ground black pepper and fresh thyme, stirring well to combine.

Step 10

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, considering the low sodium content.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium creamy cauliflower soup.
