Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium potatoes (sweet or russet, or one of each)
- ½ head of cauliflower
- 5 large carrots (or 2 cups baby carrots)
- ¾ bag of frozen corn
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking. Chop the cauliflower into florets and if using large carrots, peel and cut them into chunks. If using baby carrots, they can be left whole.
- Boil Vegetables: Place the diced potatoes, cauliflower, and carrots in a pot with enough water to cover them. Boil over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Add the frozen corn during the last 10 minutes of cooking to heat through.
- Drain and Reserve Water: Once the vegetables are soft, drain the excess water into a separate bowl. Reserve this cooking water to use later to adjust soup consistency.
- Puree the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the cooked vegetables directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Gradually add some of the reserved cooking water, about one cup or as needed, to reach your desired thickness. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the vegetables in batches to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth, adding reserved water as necessary.
- Season the Soup: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Optional toppings include sriracha, red pepper flakes, or nutritional yeast for extra flavor. The soup can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days and enjoyed cold if preferred.
