HOW DO YOU MAKE EASY CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP
When reading Roasted Cauliflower Soup you may be thinking, ‘why not just boil it?’ Why not make it easier? The truth is cauliflower is pretty bland and begs for flavour.
You can flavour a boiled cauliflower soup with as many seasonings as you have, but it doesn’t come close to the flavours that are naturally baked into roasted cauliflower.
To add to those delicious flavours, you’re going to mix cauliflower florets with smashed whole garlic cloves and sliced onion; drizzle over some olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 medium carrot, shredded
1/4 cup chopped celery
2-1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons chicken or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups 2% milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, optional
DIRECTIONS
In a Dutch oven, combine the cauliflower, carrot, celery, water and bouillon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender (do not drain).
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Stir in the cheese until melted. Add hot pepper sauce if desired. Stir into the cauliflower mixture. Yield: 8 servings (about 2 quarts).
Test Kitchen Tips
Feel free to use 2-1/2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth instead of water and bouillon.
Make this gluten-free by using cornstarch as a thickener. Omit the flour and butter, and make a slurry by whisking 2 tablespoons cornstarch into the milk before adding it to the saucepan.
