Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 carrots peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 head cauliflower chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cups chicken/vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 Tablespoon arrowroot starch
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ lb pancetta diced (or bacon), optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Season vegetables with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chopped cauliflower and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually stir in chicken broth and almond milk, and cook for a couple of minutes.
- In a cup, whisk the arrowroot starch with 1/4 cup of the warm liquid from the soup. Whisk until it's smooth, and add it to the soup. Stir well and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender about 12 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
- Using a hand blender, puree the soup but don't overdo it. Season with cumin, oregano, thyme, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with pancetta and fresh thyme, if desired.
Notes
- Make the soup in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. These help to distribute the heat more evenly and you are less likely to scorch the bottom of the soup.
- I used almond milk to make this soup dairy-free, but you can use dairy if you prefer.
- Using an immersion hand blender is the easiest way to make this soup silky smooth. You can also blend it in batches in a stand mixer, but take care as it will be very hot.
