Equipment

  • 1 stock pot with lid
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 blender (or immersion blender) If using a conventional blender, leave the middle part of the lid off and cover with a cloth while pureeing the soup to allow steam to escape.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 2 containers 14 ounce containers of unsalted vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup diced mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 tablespoon dried summer savory
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • Wash all vegetables. Peel carrots. Remove stem and leaves from cauliflower.
  • Diced the carrots, celery, onions and mushrooms.
  • Add olive oil to stock pot. Heat on low. Add vegetables and sauté for 15 minutes stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  • While the vegetables are sautéing, cut the cauliflower into small pieces. At the end of the sauté period, add cauliflower for 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon dried savory and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Stir. Add both containers of unsalted vegetable brother.
  • Turn heat to high until the mixture reaches a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer. Cover with the lid cracked slightly open (a little off to the side) to allow steam to escape. Simmer for 45 minutes.
  • After the simmering period, turn the heat off. Remove approximately 2/3 of the soup to the blender, working in small batches (I put the rest of the soup in a large 4 cup measuring cup until I was ready to blend it). Leave 1/3 of the mixture in the pot.
  • Working in small batches, blend the soup until it is pureed. Be sure to leave the lid off of the blender and cover it with a cloth when blending to allow the steam to escape. Puree each batch until 2/3 of the soup is pureed. Then, pour the puree back into the pot, mixing with the remaining soup. Heat and enjoy.
  • Note: If using a immersion blender, remove 1/3 of the soup from the pot. Use the immersion blender to blend the mixture in the pot. Then, pour the original 1/3 of the soup mix back into the pot, stir, heat and enjoy.
