Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large head cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk *
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 3 strips bacon cooked and chopped for serving, optional

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and add the onion. Sauté the onion until it is soft and browned, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté an additional 3 minutes.
  • While the onion and garlic is sautéing, chop the cauliflower into florets and discard the green stems.
  • Fill a large pot with a couple of inches of water and insert your steamer*
  • Bring water to a boil, add the cauliflower florets and steam covered until the florets are soft when poked with a fork, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the sautéed onion and garlic, steamed cauliflower, almond milk, vegetable broth and salt to a blender (all ingredients except for the bacon) and blend until completely smooth. The texture should come out pillowy, creamy and soft.
  • If the soup is not already piping hot coming out of the blender, pour it back into the pot and gently heat to desired temperature, stirring frequently.
  • If desired, chop 3 strips of bacon and cook them over medium heat until they crisp up. Serve soup with crisped bacon on top or skip the bacon to make this vegetarian.

Notes

*You can also use full-fat canned coconut milk, unsweetened oat milk, cashew milk, regular cow's milk, half & half, or heavy cream.
If you don’t have a steamer, simply put the cauliflower strait into the boiling water and strain it out using a colander when cauliflower is done cooking
