Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

▢ 2 pounds cauliflower
▢ 1 onion a brown onion
▢ 4 garlic cloves
▢ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
▢ 2 tsps miso white miso paste, optional
▢ 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
▢ 3 cups stock
▢ 1 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened - substitute your favourite milk type
▢ 1/2 lemon juice only

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables: chop the cauliflower into florets, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat the oil in the saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Give it a good stir and cook until the onion is translucent. You're not looking to colour the vegetables at all.
Add in the cauliflower, the white miso (optional), the dijon mustard and give everything a good stir.
Add in the stock, give everything another stir. Bring the saucepan to the boil and then turn it down to a simmer.
Leave it to simmer for about 20 minutes. Test to make sure that the cauliflower is cooked through. Add the milk and bring it back to a simmer and add the lemon juice.
Next, blend the soup to a consistency that you like. If you use a blender you may need to do this in batches to prevent the soup from exploding everywhere. I usually use a stick blender which does the job well enough.
Check for seasoning and add more salt if it needs it, just add a little at a time until you're happy.
Serve this soup with your favourite soup accompaniments and enjoy!

Storing and reheating this soup

This soup will last for up to 3 days if stored in the refrigerator. It will also last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Freeze in a suitable container, making sure that there is enough space for the soup to expand when it freezes.

To eat, defrost on the countertop before heating it through on the hob until it is piping hot. The soup may separate a little when it thaws so give it a good stir before heating.

Reheat this soup until it is piping hot. Stir it really well whilst re-heating, to prevent it from catching on the bottom of the saucepan. Serve with your favourite soup additions and enjoy!
