Cauliflower Vichyssoise with White Truffle Oil
Description
Easy Summer Soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 head cauliflower, cored and chopped (about 7 cups)
1 (16-ounce) cans of white beans, drained and rinsed (cannellini, great northern, or navy)
1 medium potato, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup non-dairy milk of your choice (I used full fat coconut milk)
White truffle oil
Chopped chives for garnish, hazelnuts, sriracha or other hot sauce, microgreens (all optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower, beans, potatoes, mustard, and spices, except salt and pepper. Stir well coating all ingredients. Cook for about 1 minute. Add wine to deglaze the pan. Add vegetable broth, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is completely tender about 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the plant-based milk. Puree the soup with an immersion blender (or in batches in a regular blender). Transfer the soup to the refrigerator and chill. Drizzle soup with truffle oil, add a few drops of sriracha, hazelnuts, and sprinkle with the chives/microgreens, before serving.
