Creamy Cauliflower Soup

It's about time you met this Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe. It's rich and indulgent but no much that it weighs you down.
My husband finished the leftovers without checking with others if they wanted some.
My daughter described it as "it's like a warm blanket after being outside on a stormy winter day.

I wanted this soup to be creamy, full of flavor and with some texture.
Not everyone in this household likes Cheese so I made use of Coconut Milk.
All in all it's a feel good soup.

The ingredients you will need for this Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe:

Cauliflower, a lot of it. Roasting these florets in the pan lends a smokiness to it
Onion and Garlic form a savory base layer. We are blending it all up so no need to chop finely.
Celery - Adds body and a slightly oniony flavor
Vegetable Broth or water, brings it all together. i always buy only Organic Broth.
Bay leaf, Marjoram, Thyme, impart flavors
Potato, Peeled and cooked until tender. It lends a creamy texture to the soup
Coconut Milk, adds a superbly creamy texture and tiny hint of sweetness
Salt and Pepper, duh!!

Step by step instruction:

Chop the Cauliflower removing the stems. Do not throw away the stems, they can be used to make Vegetable broth.

Chop the Onion, Potato and Celery in small pieces.
In a large soup pot, heat Ghee or Butter on medium heat.
Add Onion and sauté for a minute. Add Potato chunks and sauté for another minute. Make sure to stir enough so the mixture doesn’t start burning at the bottom.
Add the Bay leaf, Garlic and Celery. Mix it well.

Add Cauliflower florets and Sauté well for about 4 minutes. If the mixture starts to burn at the bottom, keep adding one or two Tbsps. of Broth/Water every minute.
Add the Vegetable Broth or Water, Marjoram, Thyme and Black pepper.
Make sure the heat is at Low-medium, cover the pot and let the Cauliflower cook for about 10 minutes.
Remove the cover, check if Cauliflower is cooked. If you press on it, it should break very easily.
If it is cooked, remove from heat and add salt.

Once slightly cooled down, use hand blender or any other blender to blend the soup nicely.
Pour it back in the Pot, add Coconut milk and check the taste. Adjust Salt and Pepper as needed.
Garnish with some Green onion and serve warm.
