Steps:
- Heat canola oil in a soup pot and sauté onions, dill and thyme until tender.
- Add cauliflower and cook a few minutes more. Add water and potatoes.
- Cover and cook on medium heat until tender (approximately 30 minutes.) Remove from heat and blend approximately half the soup, about 6 cups, 2 cups at a time. I used my hand blender until it was the consistency I wanted.
- Simmer on lowest heat, add bay leaves, salt, pepper and soy sauce.
- Cook approximately 20 more minutes with top off.
- Mix skim milk with cornstarch and stir (or shake) to get out lumps.
- Add skim milk with cornstarch and check seasonings.
- Thin with water or milk if soup has gotten too thick after sitting.
- For extra flavor I used 3 cubes of Not-Chick'n bouillon seasoning but I figured the program would not recognize it. This product has a lot of sodium in it already so I did not add the 1 teaspoon salt.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor and texture, use a fresh head of cauliflower that is firm and white. Avoid heads that are bruised or have brown spots.
- Trim the cauliflower properly: Remove the tough outer leaves and the thick stem from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets, about 1-2 inches in size.
- Roast the cauliflower before blending: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor. Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix or Blendtec, will give you the smoothest and creamiest soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches or strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is blended, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, if desired. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This cauliflower soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and low-calorie count, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
