Creamy Coconut Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (rosemary-infused adds great flavor)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium stalks celery, diced
• 1 teaspoon garlic puree (approx. 1 clove, minced)
• 4 large potatoes, scrubbed and roughly cut into small chunks
• 1 medium head of cauliflower, washed and cut into florets
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
• Sea salt & fresh pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

• Shredded cheese (choose a vegan variety if desired)
• Chopped chives

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, stir and let sauté over medium low heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic puree or garlic and let cook for another minute

Add potatoes, cauliflower and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a bubbling simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until potatoes and cauliflower are soft.

Remove pot from the heat and, using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Stir in coconut milk and add more salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with cheese (choose a vegan variety if necessary) and chives (optional, but pretty good!)
