Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup – Barefeet within the Kitchen

Wealthy and garlicky, you’ll have hassle believing this creamy cauliflower potato soup is made with no drop of cream or milk! I liked this soup from the very first chew.

Cauliflower Potato Soup

After I made Creamy Cauliflower Sauce for the primary time, and the second, third, fourth and fifth occasions, it nearly begged for use in a soup. (In truth, I ate it on it’s personal as a soup a time or two.)

It was pure, then, that I’d dedicate a batch of it to the upper calling of being a hearty soup! Don’t consider this as an alternative choice to conventional baked potato soup, although; this soup is each bit as tasty as its heavier dairy-filled pal.

Whereas it stands nobly by itself, if you happen to are in search of a lightened-up model of our much-loved Baked Potato Soup, this does the trick!

I’ve served the soup in its easy, pristine, un-garnished type a few occasions and we’ve loved it that method as a pleasant facet dish.

More often than not once I make it, although, I pile the toppings on, as a result of I couldn’t resist defeating the entire dairy-free meat-free side of this meal. We’re clearly omnivores! (In addition to, meals with toppings is simply plain extra inviting!)

Cauliflower and Potato Soup

To make this soup, you’ll want the next elements:

• cauliflower
• potatoes
• garlic
• water
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper
• elective: crumbled bacon shredded cheese, inexperienced onions, and bitter cream for toppings

Potato Cauliflower Soup

Place the water and the cauliflower in a big pot and convey to a boil. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, till the cauliflower is fork tender. Don’t drain.

Whereas the cauliflower is cooking, saute the garlic with the oil in a small skillet over medium low warmth. Prepare dinner for a few minutes, till simply till the garlic is aromatic and smooth.

Use a slotted spoon to switch the cooked cauliflower to the blender. Add 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the cauliflower, together with the cooked garlic and oil from the skillet, the salt and the pepper.

Puree till fully easy. Relying on how highly effective your blender is, this might take a couple of minutes. Style the sauce and add extra salt and pepper as wanted.

Put aside about 2 cups of the cauliflower cooking water after which fill the pot with contemporary water and the uncooked potatoes. 

Boil the potatoes till they’re fork tender, however not falling aside. This could take about 10-Quarter-hour.

Drain the potatoes, add the cauliflower sauce and stir to mix. Mash the potatoes frivolously with a potato masher, leaving loads of small chunks within the soup.

When you desire a thinner soup, add among the reserved cooking water and stir to mix. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Style and regulate the seasonings as wanted. Scoop into bowls and add toppings if desired. 

Dairy Free Potato Soup

This isn’t the one dairy free soup right here although. There are a number of extra soups to strive subsequent! You should definitely do this gentle (and oh really easy to make!) Egg Drop Soup and the hearty Sluggish Cooker Break up Pea Soup with Ham and Potatoes that my sister loves a lot.

When you’re in search of one thing brothy that also has stick-to-your-ribs energy, purple potatoes, rooster, carrots, broccoli, and spinach, make a Hen Vegetable Soup that’s excellent for a wet or snowy day.
