Creamy Vegetable Soup

Soup broth:
1 head cauliflower
2 zucchini
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 cups of water
1 cup of milk (your choice, plant milk works as well)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
black pepper

Chop vegetables and put them in a large soup pot. Add garlic, broth, water and seasonings. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it cool enough to use a stick blender. Blend until smooth. Add milk.

To the broth add:
2 chopped carrots
2 chopped celery stalks
1 chopped onion
1 chopped zucchini - add in the last 5 minutes of simmering
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper

Simmer 10-15 minutes. It's okay if the vegetables are higher than the broth. They steam as the soup simmers.
___________________________
The zucchini taste is neutral and cuts the cauliflower taste in the broth. I've added green cabbage, green beans, etc. It's pretty flexible, so use what you have in the frig. This soup freezes well.

Sounds like a great one for when you are inundated with veggies!
Exactly. It helps when there's a bumper crop of zucchini... like most years. Ha!
One thing I like about this recipe is that it can be low carb, low fat or dairy free, depending on how you swap out the ingredients.
