Follow The Directions

01

Step
3 mins

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.

02

Step
8 mins

Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower begins to soften slightly, about 8 minutes.

03

Step
25 mins

Pour in the chicken stock, add the chopped ginger, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.

04

Step
5 mins

Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending. Working in batches, carefully pour the soup into a blender, filling it no more than halfway. Secure the lid tightly and blend until completely smooth and creamy.

05

Step
2 mins

Return the blended soup to the pot and gently warm over low heat, if needed. Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper.

06

Step
0 mins

Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), or a swirl of cream, if desired. Crusty bread or garlic croutons make a wonderful accompaniment.

For a richer flavor, try roasting the cauliflower florets before adding them to the soup. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
Adjust the amount of ginger to your preference. For a milder flavor, use a smaller piece or grate the ginger instead of chopping it.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
For a vegan version, substitute vegetable stock for chicken stock and ensure any garnishes are also vegan-friendly.
A pinch of nutmeg or a squeeze of lemon juice can add a lovely depth of flavor to the finished soup.

    I made this with vegetable stock to keep it vegetarian and it was still so flavorful.

    Instead of blending, I used a potato masher for a chunkier soup. It was still delicious!

    I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I used a little less than the recipe called for and it was still great.

    My kids even loved it! I served it with grilled cheese sandwiches.

  • Damion Rippin

    I roasted the cauliflower first, as suggested, and it definitely added a deeper, richer flavor.
