Cauliflower Soup is one of the creamiest soups that I ever ate and made in my life. From the moment I first cooked it, I fell in love. I think the reason why is how incredibly creamy it is. The Creamy Cauliflower Soup made me feel like I was eating the most delicious and fluffiest cloud. It is so soft and smooth, and when you eat it, you will feel everything will be fine!
I`m a soup lover, and for me, soup season is pretty much every day. My favorites are puree soups because of their creamy texture, amazing flavor, and they are the perfect way of including more vegetables in my family’s diet. Usually, I make puree soup at least twice a week, and I love experimenting with different flavors and cooking methods, except when it comes to this wonderful no onion no garlic Cauliflower Soup. I find it perfect as it is, and my family always asks for seconds. I hope that you will enjoy my allium-free Cauliflower Soup which is also an acid-reflux-friendly recipe.

How to make Creamy Cauliflower Soup?
This amazing Cauliflower Soup starts with washing the cauliflower, breaking it into florets, and chopping the stalk into medium-sized cubes. You do not have to be too precise; just make sure that the cubes are kind of equal in size. Then, peel and wash potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes, making sure that they are equal in size. You can even cut potatoes into slightly bigger cubes, and then simmer the soup for a few more minutes.
Add the cauliflower and potatoes to a large pot along with water, and salt. Cover with a lid and place it on the stove over medium heat. Once the soup comes to a boil, simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender, and the cauliflower very soft.
Remove the soup from the heat. (If you are using a non-stick pot, then check out below how to make this soup in a non-stick pot.) Use an immersion handheld blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you are cooking with pepper, here you will add it to the soup, and stir it to combine. Taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of water and stir. If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer a little longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano or parmesan and optional lemon juice if you would like to add a bit of sour taste. Add finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano or parmesan on the top as garnish.
How to make puree soup if you only have a non-stick pot?
Non-stick pots are amazing because you can cook things without using too much oil, food doesn’t stick to them. They are all wonderful until you have to make puree soup. Pureeing a soup with an immersion handheld blender is a recipe for disaster. I made this mistake a decade ago and destroyed my mum`s non-stick pot when I was making a puree soup. The blender destroyed the coating, creating scratches, and my soup was full of non-stick pot pieces. This event taught me that you should never use a blender when pureeing the soup.
Here is my advice on how to make puree soup if you only have a non-stick pot.
After the vegetables are cooked, let them cool down for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables with only a part of the water to a heat-safe large bowl, and puree the vegetables there with an immersion handheld blender. Then transfer back to the pot and stir it with a wooden spoon until combined. The trick is to wait until the vegetables cool down a bit so they will not burn you.

Notes
2 Add only a little bit of salt in the second step. 3. If you love making soups with stocks and broths, then you can substitute part of the water with it. Take care that the stock or broth that you are using is allium-free. I do not recommend substituting water for broth or stock if you have acid reflux.
