✔ Ingredients (Serves 4) :

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into florets (about 4 cups)

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional garnish: Crispy bacon bits, fresh parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil

✔ Directions :

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. Cook Cauliflower: Add cauliflower florets to the pot, stirring to coat with butter. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until cauliflower is fork-tender.

  3. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender to purée the mixture directly in the pot until completely smooth (or transfer to a countertop blender in batches).

  4. Add Creaminess: Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer on low for 5 minutes to meld flavors. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Serve Warm: Ladle into bowls and garnish with bacon, parsley, or olive oil.

✔ Frequently Asked Questions :

  1. Can I make this soup dairy-free?
    Yes! Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly version.

  2. How do I store leftovers?
    Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid separating.

  3. Is frozen cauliflower okay?
    Absolutely. Use 4 cups of frozen florets—no need to thaw before cooking.

  4. Can I add protein to this soup?
    Top with shredded rotisserie chicken or diced grilled chicken breast for a heartier meal.

  5. Why is my soup too thin?
    Simmer uncovered for an extra 5–10 minutes to thicken, or blend in an extra ½ cup of steamed cauliflower.
