Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare aromatics. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add cauliflower and spices. Add the chopped cauliflower florets to the pot. Sprinkle dried oregano and ground cumin over the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly and release flavors.
  3. Pour in broth and simmer. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let the soup simmer gently for 20–25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
  4. Blend the soup. Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth, then return to the pot.
  5. Season and serve. Taste the soup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Reheat gently if necessary, then ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or coconut milk before blending.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor and presentation.
  • This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
  • Use gluten-free broth to keep the soup gluten-free if desired.
