Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and stem, then cut it into small florets.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat them in the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable stock, ensuring the cauliflower is mostly covered by the liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 8

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until creamy, then return it to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
