Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 ½ c cauliflower florets frozen
  • 1 c broth*
  • ½ tbs dried onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tbs nutritional yeast**
  • ⅓ c plain almond milk unsweetened
  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 4-6 cloves roasted garlic***
  • Black pepper
  • 2 scoops collagen

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS

Instructions

  • STEAM CAULIFLOWER: In a lidded saucepot add the frozen cauliflower florets, broth, dried onion, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir and cover. Then bring to a boil, turn down to low and simmer for 7-9 minutes (or until the cauliflower is cooked through and fork tender). You should be able to easily press your fork into the center of one of the florets when they are done.
  • BLEND AND SEASON: Transfer the cauliflower and broth to a blender, add all the remaining ingredients except the collagen (nutritional yeast, almond milk, EVOO, roasted garlic, pepper) and blend until a smooth consistency has been achieved. If using the collagen, add at the very end of the blending process. Finally, season to taste with salt. If you want it to taste *cheesier* then add more nutritional yeast. If you want it to be more buttery tasting, then add more olive oil. Garnish with desired toppings.

Notes

*I prefer to use chicken bone broth or chicken stock, but you could use vegetable broth if you prefer
**Can substitute regular Parmesan here if you don’t want to use nutritional yeast
***The roasted garlic cloves give excellent depth of flavor to this recipe but if you want to skip them altogether (or use a pinch of garlic powder instead) feel free to substitute it. When I’m in a rush or don’t have roasted cloves on-hand, I have made it without and it’s still delicious. Adjust flavor to taste using other spices.
To keep the recipe vegan and vegetarian friendly – make sure the broth used is a vegetable broth and omit the collagen peptides.
