How To Make cauliflower and kale soup

  • Step 1
    In large saucepot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic, until onions are translucent
  • Step 2
    Add cauliflower and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until cauliflower softens, approx. 15-20 min.
  • Step 3
    Add kale and simmer for another 5 minutes. NOTE: I like the mixture just as it is at this stage; has some substance, so I just mash a little with a hand masher and skip Step 4, but do add a little salt and pepper to taste. But if you like, you can continue with the following directions.
  • Step 4
    Let mixture cool completely. Then, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepot and bring to simmer. Add tarragon, salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    Remove from heat and serve with a favorite protein
