Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets

1 can (15 oz) of white beans (cannellini or navy), drained and rinsed

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Prep the Cauliflower: Rinse and chop the cauliflower into small, evenly-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets, dried thyme, and cumin to the pot. Stir everything together until the cauliflower is coated in the oil and spices. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to slightly soften.

        Add Broth and Beans: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.

          Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Carefully use an immersion blender to purée the soup until creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender. Be cautious with hot liquids.

            Stir in Creaminess: Once blended, return the soup to low heat. Stir in the white beans and coconut milk (or heavy cream). Mix well and allow the soup to heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Adjust Flavor: If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Enjoy warm, with crusty bread on the side.
