Thanks to This Cauliflower Soup, I Lost 10 kg in a Month! Vegetable Soup Without Meat
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, broken into florets
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1 medium leek, cleaned and chopped
- 2-1/2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative, such as almond or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and preparing all vegetables. Break the cauliflower into small florets, shred the carrot, chop the celery, and clean and slice the leek.
- Cook the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the leek and celery, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add Water and Bouillon: Pour in the water and stir in the bouillon. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Simmer the Soup: Add the cauliflower florets and shredded carrot to the pot. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 15–20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Blend for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup and leave the rest as is.
- Add Milk: Stir in the milk (or dairy-free alternative) and let it warm through. Avoid boiling at this stage to prevent curdling.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Adjust the consistency with more water or milk if needed.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.
