Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 (14.5 oz) cans chicken broth
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp ground black pepper
0.125 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1

Prepare all ingredients.

2

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Add potatoes and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, around 5 minutes.

4

Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the cauliflower, then cover the pot, reduce heat, and let it simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 20 minutes.

5

Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth.

6

Return the soup to low heat and stir in milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and sherry. Cook until heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.

7

Garnish with parsley before serving.
