This creamy cauliflower soup is made with fresh cauliflower, potato, onion, garlic, milk, and Parmesan. The potato gives the soup plenty of body, so there’s no need for heavy cream. It’s smooth, flavorful, and ready in about 20 minutes.

Simmer – Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cauliflower and potato are completely tender.
