Steps
Prepare Vegetables
Clean the cauliflower and break it into florets. Peel the potato and cut it into cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince or finely chop the garlic.
Make the Base
In a large pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Cook and Blend
Add the cauliflower florets and diced potato to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely tender. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth.
Finish and Serve
Return the pot to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through, but do not bring to a boil. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley or chives before serving.
Extra Tips
► For an even creamier soup, use an immersion blender and blend until completely smooth.
► Serve with some toasted bread cubes or croutons to make the soup even more filling.
► You can also sprinkle a little grated cheese, like Parmesan, on top for extra flavor.
