Smooth Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 4 cups of vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme and/or rosemary)
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
2. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
