How do you thicken up cauliflower soup
There are a few ways to thicken up instant pot cauliflower soup. Simply, use cashews, beans, or potatoes. I used all three for this recipe.
How to make this cauliflower soup recipe
- Prep your ingredients:Cut the head of cauliflower into florets and roughly chop the garlic.
- Dump your ingredients into the Instant Pot:add the garlic, cauliflower florets, cashews, vegetable broth, potatoes, cannellini beans, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, nutritional yeast, 1.5 teaspoons of sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the mixture.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Select thePressure Cooksetting and set it to high pressure for7 minutes.
- Once the 7 minutes have been completed and beeps, perform aQuick Pressure Releaseby switching the Pressure Release knob from Sealing to Venting.
- Open the pot and remove any herb sprigs. Use animmersion blenderto puree the soup until it’s thick and creamy. Alternatively, if you want a super-smooth texture, transfer the soup to a stand blender and blend until smooth (replace the center cap from the blender lid and cover with a dishtowel to allow the steam to escape).
- Taste and adjust seasoningaccordingly. (I’ll add a bit more sea salt at this stage).
- Once ready to serve,pour the soup into bowls, and before serving, zest some lemon over the soup, squeeze some lemon juice over the soup, as well. Add as many red pepper flakes as you like, and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Serve with salad and bread, if desired.
