Ingredients You Need for Cauliflower and Potato Soup Recipe

• 1 cup milk or cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables

Wash cauliflower, peel potatoes and chop all vegetables into small even pieces so they cook quickly and evenly in the pot.

2. Heat the pot

Place a large pot on medium heat, add butter or olive oil and let it melt before adding the chopped onion and garlic carefully.

3. Cook onion and garlic

Stir onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, making sure they do not burn, because burned garlic gives bitter and unpleasant taste.

4. Add potatoes and cauliflower

Add the chopped potatoes and cauliflower to the pot, stir gently and coat them well with the oil, onion and garlic mixture.

5. Pour in broth

Add vegetable or chicken broth into the pot, making sure vegetables are covered fully, then bring everything to a gentle steady boil.

6. Season the soup

Add salt, pepper, thyme and paprika, then stir slowly so the spices spread well and every spoonful has balanced flavor.

7. Simmer until soft

Lower heat and simmer for about twenty minutes, cooking until potatoes and cauliflower are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

8. Blend the soup

Use an immersion blender in the pot or carefully transfer soup to a blender, blending until smooth, creamy and lump free.

9. Add milk or cream

Return soup to pot if needed, then stir in milk or cream and heat gently without boiling, keeping texture silky and rich.

10. Taste and serve

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed, then ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley and serve warm with love.

Recipe Tips

• Use cream for richer texture and flavor
• Keep some chunks if you like rustic soup
• Add cheese for extra creamy taste
• Use low-sodium broth to control salt
