Why Cauliflower Rocks (and Why It Belongs in Your Soup!)

Cauliflower is an underappreciated contributor to a healthy diet. It’s low in calories yet packed with vitamins C, K, and B6, not to mention its fiber content to keep you fuller for longer. A single cup of cauliflower has just 25 calories but delivers impressive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. 

However, cauliflower’s versatility in the kitchen extends beyond its nutritional value. It absorbs seasonings like a dream, making it perfect for soups, mashes, and even rice substitutes. 

Beyond versatility, it’s a cost-effective ingredient that lasts longer in the fridge than most veggies. Healthy, tasty, and budget-friendly? Sign us up!

Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets 
• 1 small onion, diced 
• 3 garlic cloves, minced 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 
• 4 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock for non-vegetarians) 
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk) 
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for a warm earthy twist) 
• Salt and pepper to taste 

How to Make It:

1. Prep Your Veggies: Chop the cauliflower into small florets and dice the onion nicely. The smaller the pieces, the quicker they’ll cook! 
2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat up your olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes). 
3. Add the Cauliflower: Toss in the cauliflower florets and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly. 
4. Simmer It Up: Pour in the vegetable stock, ensuring the cauliflower is just submerged. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork-tender. 
5. Blend Until Silky: Use an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. 
6. Add the Milk: Stir in the almond milk for that extra creaminess. Heat for another 2 minutes, and you’re done! 

Pro-tip:

Prefer a chunky texture? Set aside a cup of the cauliflower before blending and mix it back into the soup later!

3. Boost Creaminess: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of coconut milk for heightened indulgence. 
4. Texture Crunch: Top with homemade croutons, roasted cauliflower bits, or a sprinkle of seeds.
