Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Method

  6. Serve: Garnish with parsley or chives and enjoy with crusty bread or croutons.

Notes

  • For a richer soup, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk.
  • Stir in shredded cheddar or Parmesan for a cheesy twist.
  • Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for a little spice.
