How To Make Cauliflower Soup
Preparing this hearty soup is both easy and quick. It begins by gently simmering the trio of cauliflower, carrot, and celery in water and chicken bouillon. While the vegetables are cooking, a crucial step takes this soup to the next level. Creating a roux by whisking melted butter with flour. Then, stir in milk and mix constantly to form a thick yet smooth mixture. Finally, dump shredded cheddar cheese into it and continue stirring it to craft a flavorful, cheesy, and creamy base. As the simmered vegetables and cheese-infused milk mixture combine, they create a delicious meal in a single bowl. With every sip, this soup offers a balanced taste and a wealth of nutrients that no one can resist.
Cooking Tips
To make this flavorful, creamy cauliflower soup even tastier, please follow my tips below.
When cutting the cauliflower florets, try to make them as uniform in size as possible. This will ensure even cooking. Don’t overcook cauliflower. Simmer until the cauliflower is just tender, not overly soft. The creamy base is created from the roux (butter and flour mixture) combines butter, flour, milk, and cheese. Stir the mixture constantly while cooking to ensure the flour is well-cooked and fully incorporated to avoid any lumps remaining and a raw flour taste. The roux can be substituted with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or tapioca starch. Omit butter and flour, and mix cornstarch (or tapioca starch) directly with the cold milk before adding to the soup.
