Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup – Barefeet wi...

Wealthy and garlicky, you’ll have bother believing this creamy cauliflower potato soup is made with out a drop of cream or milk! I cherished this soup from the very first chunk.

Cauliflower Potato Soup

After I made Creamy Cauliflower Sauce for the primary time, and the second, third, fourth and fifth instances, it nearly begged for use in a soup. (In truth, I ate it on it’s personal as a soup a time or two.)

It was pure, then, that I’d dedicate a batch of it to the upper calling of being a hearty soup! Don’t consider this as an alternative choice to conventional baked potato soup, although; this soup is each bit as tasty as its heavier dairy-filled good friend.

Whereas it stands nobly by itself, in the event you are on the lookout for a lightened-up model of our much-loved Baked Potato Soup, this does the trick!

I’ve served the soup in its easy, pristine, un-garnished kind a few instances and we’ve loved it that manner as a pleasant aspect dish.

More often than not after I make it, although, I pile the toppings on, as a result of I couldn’t resist defeating the entire dairy-free meat-free side of this meal. We’re clearly omnivores! (Moreover, meals with toppings is simply plain extra inviting!)

Cauliflower and Potato Soup

To make this soup, you’ll want the next components:

• cauliflower
• potatoes
• garlic

• elective: crumbled bacon shredded cheese, inexperienced onions, and bitter cream for toppings

Potato Cauliflower Soup

Place the water and the cauliflower in a big pot and convey to a boil. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, till the cauliflower is fork tender. Don’t drain.

Whereas the cauliflower is cooking, saute the garlic with the oil in a small skillet over medium low warmth. Cook dinner for a few minutes, till simply till the garlic is aromatic and tender.

Use a slotted spoon to switch the cooked cauliflower to the blender. Add 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the cauliflower, together with the cooked garlic and oil from the skillet, the salt and the pepper.

Puree till fully clean. Relying on how highly effective your blender is, this might take a couple of minutes. Style the sauce and add extra salt and pepper as wanted.

Put aside about 2 cups of the cauliflower cooking water after which fill the pot with contemporary water and the uncooked potatoes. 

Boil the potatoes till they’re fork tender, however not falling aside. This could take about 10-Quarter-hour.

Drain the potatoes, add the cauliflower sauce and stir to mix. Mash the potatoes evenly with a potato masher, leaving loads of small chunks within the soup.

If you happen to want a thinner soup, add a few of the reserved cooking water and stir to mix. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Style and alter the seasonings as wanted. Scoop into bowls and add toppings if desired. 

Dairy Free Potato Soup

This isn’t the one dairy free soup right here although. There are a number of extra soups to strive subsequent! Remember to do that mild (and oh really easy to make!) Egg Drop Soup and the hearty Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Ham and Potatoes that my sister loves a lot.

If you happen to’re on the lookout for one thing brothy that also has stick-to-your-ribs energy, purple potatoes, rooster, carrots, broccoli, and spinach, make a Chicken Vegetable Soup that’s good for a wet or snowy day.
