Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook a delicious cauliflower cream soup? Very simple and fast! First, prepare the necessary ingredients to taste. You can change the proportions of cabbage and potatoes to your liking. Take cream of any fat content.
Step 2:
Disassemble the cabbage into inflorescences and rinse thoroughly. Cauliflower can be used fresh or frozen. Pre-defrost the frozen inflorescences and drain the released liquid.
Step 3:
Peel and dice the potatoes. The smaller you cut the potatoes, the faster they will cook.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.
Step 5:
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Put the onion and fry over medium heat until soft for about 7-8 minutes.
Step 6:
Add potatoes and cauliflower to the pan.
Step 7:
Pour in hot water so that it completely covers the vegetables. Season everything with salt and pepper. Bring the water to a boil and cook the soup over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Step 8:
Drain the broth, leaving only 200-250 ml, which are needed to regulate the density of the soup.
Step 9:
Whisk the vegetables with an immersion blender to a smooth creamy texture, gradually adding the remaining broth until the desired density is obtained.
Step 10:
Pour in the cream. Return the pan to a low heat and, stirring, warm up the soup for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 11:
Pour the finished soup on plates, season with ground pepper, garnish with herbs and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours. In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".
