Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 500 to 750 grams cauliflower, only florets
- 1 & 1/2 cups broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 to 3 sprigs thyme
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche, heaping
- salt and pepper, to season
- pinch of nutmeg
- chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add butter on a medium to large pot, over medium heat.
- Once butter has melted, add onion and celery. Cook until the onion has slightly softened.
- Add cauliflower, broth and milk. Mix.
- Add thyme and bay leaf. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Simmer until cauliflower is tender (about 15 to 20 minutes).
- Take pot off the heat and set aside to cool a bit.
- Once soup has cooled down, use a food processor (or blender) to puree the soup.
- Once puree has reached a smooth texture, pour puree back to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Add crème fraiche. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cover and simmer for a few minutes. Do not boil, just enough to heat up the soup again after adding crème fraiche.
- Serve and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
