Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped cauliflower and diced potatoes, mixing well to coat them in the oil and aromatics.

      Season and Simmer: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

        Blend Until Creamy: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, but be cautious with hot liquids.

          Incorporate Cream: Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and let it heat through for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning as needed.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley. Add an extra drizzle of cream for a decorative touch, if desired.

              Enjoy!: Serve warm, accompanied by crusty bread for dipping.
