Preparation

Step 1

Directions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, cover, and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add 3 cups water, cauliflower, and heavy cream and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until cauliflower is soft, about 25 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche.

Working in batches, puree cauliflower mixture in a blender until very smooth. Return soup to pot, add Parmesan and salt, and bring to a gentle simmer.

Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chives. Drizzle with truffle oil, if using, and serve.

Here's an excellent example of how quick and easy it is to make a warming homemade soup. It's lusciously creamy even though it's dairy-free.

The toppings make this soup fun for both kids and adults to eat. Crunchy tortilla strips, avocados, and cheese offer something for everyone. Even kids who typically resist vegetables are sure to gobble this veggie-rich soup right up.
