No-Oil Cauliflower Soup

I’m constantly on the lookout for a veggie-based soup that’s creative, easy to whip up, and delicious. Soups are a great option on their own, or as a snack or a side dish to balance out any meal. They’re a helpful way to give bulk and add fiber and veggies to your daily diet. This cauliflower-based soup is the perfect healthy and filling combination to help keep you fuller longer. How often do you find a soup that doesn’t require oil!? Try this creative blend of ingredients to spice up your soup repertoire this chilly season.

Directions

Prepare the No-Oil Cauliflower Soup

1. Place potatoes, onion, garlic, and six tablespoons water in a soup pot over medium heat.

2. Allow onions to turn translucent and potatoes to start to soften, about two to four minutes. Add cauliflower and remaining water. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium again.

3. Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until cauliflower can be pierced easily with a knife. Remove from heat.

4. Allow the pot to stand for 10 minutes to cool down. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. You can also transfer the soup to a blender. Leave the lid open and blend until soup is smooth. Serve warm. Garnish with chives and/or microgreens.
