Dad's Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Description
Dad's Creamy Cauliflower Soup is prepared by forming a roux through melting butter and stirring in flour, which thickens the soup and lends a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Chopped cauliflower and onions are then cooked in chicken broth, which infuses the soup with savory depth while softening the vegetables. After simmering until the cauliflower is tender, an immersion blender purees the mixture to a smooth consistency.
The soup is seasoned simply with salt and black pepper, letting the natural flavors shine through in a delicate balance. The result is a warm, creamy soup suitable as a starter or light meal. Using chicken broth offers a mild, rich background, but vegetable broth can be substituted for a vegetarian variation.
