Cauliflower Soup

Kankana Saxena
Cauliflower Soup is a sublime silky soup that I can go for all year round and not just on cold days. Sometimes, I roast the cauliflower, and somedays I let it slow simmer with few herbs and spices. To make it extra special, I drizzle the soup with brown butter crispy sage.

Notes

Cauliflower Soup in Blender

Roasting Cauliflower helps enhancing the flavor of the cauliflower soup.
Making the soup in blender is the easiest. You roast caulifower along with garlic and onion along with dried herbs or spices, then all you need to do is blend with chicken/veg stock and your soup is ready to serve.
To make it extra creamy, you can add some cream while blending.

Cauliflower Soup in Instapot

To prepare the soup in Instapot, you stir fry onion, potatoes (if using) cauliflower with spices and herbs. Then pour the chicken stock or veg stock and pressure cook.
Use the hand blender to blend it to creamy soup.
Once again based on your liking, you can add some cream while blending.
