Ingredients
Vegetables
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 cups carrots, sliced
Liquids & Seasonings
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Simmer Vegetables: In a large pot, combine the sliced carrots and cauliflower florets with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Blend Soup: Carefully transfer the cooked vegetables and broth to a blender in batches if necessary. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot for convenience.
- Season and Adjust: Return the blended soup to the pot if needed and heat gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and warm through.
Notes
- Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top for extra creaminess.
- This soup freezes well; store portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- For added flavor, sauté onions and garlic before adding vegetables to the broth.
