Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

To make this dairy-free, Parmesan cheese can be substituted with nutritional yeast flakes or a vegan parmesan. Substitute the butter with a dairy-free spread like Nuttelex.
Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Even though you will cook and blend the cauliflower in the Thermomix, smaller florets will cook faster. The cauliflower needs to be really soft, to make the soup as creamy as possible.

Thermomix Specific Tips:

When adding the cauliflower and stock liquid to the Thermomix bowl, do not go past the max fill line.
Very slowly increase the speed when pureeing the soup. If the machine starts to shake, turn the speed down and very slowly increase.

Storing & Freezing:

This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Alternatively, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
