**Soup Maker Cauliflower Soup**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Wash the head of cauliflower and remove the outer leaves. Cut it into florets, ensuring they are similar in size for even cooking.
2. In a large pot or a soup maker, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
4. Once the cauliflower is cooked through, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding in the whole milk gradually to achieve your desired consistency.
5. Pour the blended soup back into the pot and season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
6. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. When ready to serve, ladle the Soup Maker Cauliflower Soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
8. Enjoy your warm and comforting bowl of homemade cauliflower soup!
