How to Make Potato Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients

• 4 cups cauliflower, chopped
• 3 cups potatoes, chopped
• 1 carrot (optional)
• 1/2 – 2/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 small onion
• Salt to taste
• 2 1/2 cups stock or water (or until half-full)

Directions

1. Wash the cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes. Peel the onion and potatoes. Chop everything roughly.
2. Add the vegetables to a small cooking pot. Fill it to about halfway with stock or water. Add a good pinch of salt.
3. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it’s super smooth.
5. Taste the soup and add more salt or parmesan cheese if desired.
6. Serve hot, topped with extra parmesan cheese, freshly grated black pepper, croutons, or toasted seeds. You can also add pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick if you like!

How to Serve Potato Cauliflower Soup

Serve Potato Cauliflower Soup hot in bowls. You can add a sprinkle of extra parmesan on top and a few croutons for crunch. It pairs well with a slice of crusty bread on the side for dipping and enjoying every last bit.

How to Store Potato Cauliflower Soup

To store leftovers, let the soup cool down to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay good for about 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the soup. Just make sure to leave some space in the container, as the soup will expand when frozen.
