Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets

2 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add Veggies: To the pot, add the chopped cauliflower florets and diced potatoes. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

      Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender.

        Blend Until Smooth: Once the veggies are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender—just be sure to let it cool slightly before blending to avoid splatter.

          Stir in Cream and Seasonings: Return the blended soup to the pot (if transferred), and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk), thyme, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to gently heat through over low heat for about 5 minutes.

            Add Cheese: If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives. Enjoy it warm with crusty bread or croutons!
