Can I use regular carrots?

Absolutely! Scrub or peel the carrots and cut them into roughly 2-inch pieces so they cook at about the same rate as the cauliflower.

What kind of milk should I use?

Anything from 1% to whole milk will work. I usually use 2%; I don’t recommend skim milk because it won’t give the soup quite the same silky texture.

Can this soup be made ahead?

Yes! Let the soup cool, refrigerate it in a covered container and reheat it gently on the stovetop, stirring occasionally. If it thickens in the fridge, stir in a little milk or broth until it reaches the consistency you like.

Can I make it dairy-free?

You can substitute an unsweetened, unflavored nondairy milk. Oat milk will give you the creamiest result, but almond milk will also work.

Instructions

Pour the olive oil into a large pot and heat over medium high heat. Add onions and sauté until they are just turning tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Add cauliflower, carrots and chicken broth to the pot, bring to a boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer until the veggies are tender, about 30 minutes.
Puree the veggie mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. You can also do this in a regular blender – you might have to do it in batches – and return the puree to the pot.
Stir in the milk and heat over medium high until everything is warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped scallions.
