• 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
• 0.5 teaspoons, or to taste black pepper
• 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Break the cauliflower into small florets and set aside. Discard any tough stems.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until creamy, then return it to the pot.
