Instructions
How to Make Cauliflower Potato Soup
- Add 1/2 cup of olive oil to a 6 Qt soup pot or Dutch oven and turn the heat to medium. Add diced onions and saute them for a minute.
- Next, add chopped cauliflower and potatoes to the pot with onions and cook until onions become transparent.
- Pour in four cups of water along with 2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper and 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. Than bring everything to a boil.
- When water boils, add one cup of Heavy Whipping cream. Cover and let it cook until potatoes are cooked through (15- min). In the mean time prepare shrimp.
- After soup has finished cooking, remove the pot from heat and using immersion hand blender puree until smooth consistency. Or just use whatever blender you have on hand to puree soup until smooth. I like the first method better because everything is done without removing soup from the pot.
- To Serve - pour the desired amount of creamy soup in a bowl. Top with 5-6 buttery shrimp on top and enjoy :)
How to Make Shrimp Topping
- Preheat the skillet over medium/high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil, butter, peeled shrimp and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley. Saute until cooked through, about 2-4 min then remove from heat.
