Pot Cauliflower Soup
- 2 tablespoon light olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 red onion medium-sized, sliced
- 1 cauliflower head small, chopped (or 1 frozen cauliflower packet, 500 grams)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning divided
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- ½ can butter beans drained and rinsed
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Switch on your
instant pot to sauté and add the light olive oil to the steel insert. When the
oil becomes hot, add the garlic and onions and fry until the onions become soft
(two minutes).
Add the
cauliflower florets, turmeric, ½ teaspoon chilli flakes, black pepper, ¼
teaspoon Italian seasoning, and salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add the butter
beans and vegetable broth and deglaze the pot.
Cancel sauté and
close the lid. Make sure the steam release vent is sealed. Press the pressure
cooking button (high) and set the timer to 5 minutes.
Once the timer
beeps, wait for 10 minutes before releasing the rest of the steam. Open the pot
and using an immersion blender, blend the contents. Or wait for the contents to
cool down and blend in a regular blender.
Take out the soup
in bowls and add a few drops of lemon juice to each bowl, followed by the
remaining chilli flakes and Italian seasoning. Drizzle the extra virgin olive
oil too and serve warm.
