The most boring vegetable in the world has to be cauliflower. It’s typically perceived as the flavorless and colorless version of broccoli. Of course, cauliflower is unappealing when it’s served plain and boiled.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Blow away your relatives on Easter with this creamy cauliflower-centered dish. They’ll never believe it’s made from broccoli’s cousin.

Plus, they’ll probably be enthusiastically hounding you for the recipe in an attempt to get more veggies into their kids, especially after a candy-filled Easter.

Bring out the best in this usually bland vegetable with this three-ingredient recipe for cauliflower soup. All you need is a fresh head of cauliflower, onions, and water or vegetable stock.

It sounds a bit dreary, like something they would serve in that boarding school for orphaned girls in Jane Eyre. But it’s actually a meal of brilliance.

TikToker Kathleen Ashmore (@katcancook) is sharing a recipe for this cauliflower soup that would make a unique addition to your Easter menu.

The recipe comes from Paul Bertolli, the head chef of the Californian restaurant Chez Panisse.

Start by sautéing one sliced yellow onion in a quarter cup of olive oil in a pot on the stove. Add a pinch of salt, then cook the onions on low heat for fifteen minutes until soft. Make sure they don’t brown.

Although this next part is optional, you can fry some almonds for garnish. It will really dress up the soup, so it’s highly recommended!

After frying the almonds, add a head of cauliflower to the onions. Then, pour in some water or soup stock, which will make the texture of the soup super silky.

Cover the pot with a lid and gently stew the cauliflower in the liquid. Next, add the rest of the liquid, cover the pot, and let it cook for twenty more minutes.

Blend the mixture in a blender until the soup is smooth. Allow it to rest for twenty minutes so it can thicken slightly.

Finally, spoon the cauliflower soup into shallow bowls, and garnish with almonds, a drizzle of olive oil, cracked black pepper, and fresh thyme. A dusting of some parmesan cheese also works wonders!
