Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick butter
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 cauliflower head, cored and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 to 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
Ground black pepper
1 heaping cup sour cream, at room temperature
Warm rolls or crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
  • Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
  • You will love everything about this.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen cauliflower. If you're using frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Roast the cauliflower before blending: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the cauliflower in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cauliflower soup is a great way to use up leftover spices. Some good options include cumin, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
  • Add a creamy element: Cauliflower soup can be made creamy with the addition of milk, cream, or yogurt. You can also use a vegan alternative, such as almond milk or coconut milk.
  • Garnish before serving: Garnish your cauliflower soup with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or croutons before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it's also a good option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
