Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by preparing your vegetables. Peel and chop 2 carrots, 4 parsnips, 4 zucchinis, and 2 red onions into small pieces. |
| 2 | In an eight-quart pot, add the chopped vegetables along with the package of frozen cauliflower. |
| 3 | Cover the vegetables with water, ensuring they are fully submerged. |
| 4 | Place the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the vegetables cook until they are soft and tender, typically about 20-25 minutes. |
| 5 | Once the vegetables are cooked, carefully remove about half of them from the pot and transfer them to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. |
| 6 | Return the blended vegetables to the pot with the remaining vegetables. This will help thicken the soup and create a rich texture. |
| 7 | Season the soup to taste with your preferred herbs and spices. Consider adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, or fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor. |
| 8 | Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. |
| 9 | Once ready, serve the sweet cauliflower soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious creation! |
