Ingredients

  • tablespoon butter 
  • cups cauliflower cored
  • 3.3 cups chicken broth organic (such as Swanson Certified )
  • teaspoon kosher salt

  • tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
  • 0.3 cup shallots finely chopped

Equipment

  • bowl
  • ladle
  • pot

Directions

  1. In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and add the shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cauliflower and potatoes to stockpot. Cover with cold water. Turn heat to high, and bring to boil. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer, uncovered, until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender, 15 minutes.
  3. Remove pot from heat and drain, reserving a few cups of the hot cooking liquid.
  4. Add butter, broth, salt, and pepper. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth.
  5. Add additional liquid as needed to reach desired consistency (fairly thin is recommended). To serve, ladle into warm bowls and drizzle each por-tion with a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste.
