This recipe calls for just a few basic ingredients: garlic, cauliflower, shallots or onion, salt, onion power, and your favorite milk of choice.
Optional garnishes include chopped chives or scallions (green onions), roasted cauliflower florets, broccoli, mushrooms, or carrots, croutons, bacon bits (some brands are actually vegetarian), cheddar, parsley, etc. To make a dairy free and vegan cauliflower soup, I like to use cashew or almond milk, or Ill sometimes make it with canned coconut milk for an ultra rich version. The coconut milk option is especially good if you throw in a little turmeric or curry powder, ginger, and pepper for an Indian cauliflower soup.
The optional butter or oil adds a rich flavor, or you can omit it for a low fat or Weight Watchers friendly soup thats still creamy and delicious. With cauliflower as the base and no heavy cream or potato, the recipe is pretty low calorie even if you do want to add the optional fat.
