Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk or unsweetened plant milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in shredded carrot and chopped celery. Cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Add cauliflower florets, vegetable broth, and water. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a blender.
  7. Return soup to pot if needed. Stir in milk, salt, pepper, turmeric, and paprika.
  8. Simmer for another 5 minutes, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Add a small potato to increase creaminess naturally.
  • Use frozen cauliflower if fresh is unavailable—no change in cooking time.
  • Stir in spinach before blending for added nutrients.
  • Coconut milk can be used for a creamy, slightly sweet flavor.
