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 chunks. Rinse cauliflower and break it into smaller florets. Peel and chop large carrots or measure baby carrots.
- Boil Vegetables: Place diced potatoes, cauliflower florets, and carrots in a pot. Add enough water to cover and boil over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until all vegetables are tender. With about 10 minutes remaining, add the frozen corn into the pot.
- Drain and Reserve Water: Once cooked, drain excess water into a separate bowl to be used for thinning the soup if needed.
- Puree the Soup: Use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables directly in the pot until smooth. Gradually add back reserved cooking water to reach your desired soup thickness, typically about one cup for a thick consistency. Alternatively, transfer vegetables to a food processor or blender and puree, adding water as necessary.
- Season and Serve: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove the pot from heat and serve the soup warm. For extra flavor, top with sriracha, red pepper flakes, or nutritional yeast. Enjoy!
- Storage: This soup can be refrigerated for 3-5 days and enjoyed cold or reheated.
Notes
- This soup is creamy and packed with vitamins, combining potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and sweet corn for a wholesome meal.
- Great served with herby croutons or crusty bread for dipping.
- Immersion blender is convenient but a regular blender or food processor works well too.
- Adjust consistency by adding reserved cooking water to your preference.
- Try topping with spicy or savory garnishes like sriracha, red pepper flakes, or nutritional yeast for extra flavor.
