Cream of Cauliflower Soup



2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 carrots, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in onion and garlic and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes and carrots and cook 5 minutes more. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in cauliflower, cover, reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

Puree in batches in a blender or food processor, or in the pot using an immersion blender. Return to low heat and stir in milk, salt, and pepper.   Heat through. Serve garnished with parsley.

I made this last week for dinner. I am a big cauliflower fan so I had pretty high expectations. This soup is actually pretty good. It is a very light and simple flavor with an amazing aroma. My husband thought it was delicious.

It made quite a bit of soup so I had plenty of left overs. I ate it for lunch two days later and paired it with a grilled cheese and it was perfection!
