Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Sea salt
1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped
1 1/4 pounds cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
1/4 cup cream, more if desired
Freshly ground black pepper
Walnut oil

Steps:

  • Place a large casserole over medium-high heat. Heat olive oil until it shimmers, and add mushrooms. Season with salt to taste, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Add cauliflower and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Working in batches, use a blender or food processor to puree soup until very smooth. Return soup to pan, and place over medium heat. Stir in cream, adjust salt and season with pepper to taste.
  • To serve, stir soup, or carefully use an immersion blender to blend and froth top of soup. Ladle into warmed bowls and drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil into each. Serve hot.

CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick butter
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 cauliflower head, cored and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 to 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
Ground black pepper
1 heaping cup sour cream, at room temperature
Warm rolls or crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
  • Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
  • You will love everything about this.
