Equipment

  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

Soup Base

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 cups canned white beans drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • Olive oil drizzle

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
  • Stir in the cauliflower florets and white beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your choice of garnishes such as fresh parsley or pine nuts.

Storage

  • Allow the soup to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture. Roasting the cauliflower first can enhance flavor. A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the final dish.
Ingredient Substitutions: Coconut milk can replace some broth for added richness. Nutritional yeast can be added for a cheesy flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
Make-Ahead Tips: This soup can be made a day ahead. Flavors will deepen as it sits, making it even tastier the next day.
