Creamy Cauliflower Soup with a hint of Dill (surprise addition) Served cold or hot

When I make soup, sometimes I like to puree it, but not everyone likes it pureed.
I saw someone grating their cauliflower, so I thought if I grate it I'm giving everyone
what they want;) I added dill to it because I like the distinctive flavor and it adds some color!
Very simple recipe to make, and it is great for a large crowd.
So if you see cauliflower at the farmers market buy it, you have a recipe for it.
A finishing touch is adding roasted salted cashews to the middle of the bowl before serving!
It really works with the crunch and sweetness from the cauliflower!


Creamy Cauliflower Soup and a hint of Dill
makes 3 cups

1 1/2  cups grated cauliflower
3/4 cup milk (I used oat milk)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup of roasted salted cashew's
1 Tablespoon vegan butter
3 teaspoons potato starch (any starch you like)
a sprig of dill (finely chopped about 2 teaspoons)
sea salt to taste


With a box grater use the medium holes and simply wash the cauliflower and grate it.
In a medium soup pot on medium heat melt butter, add cauliflower and a good pinch of sea salt.
Cook 3-4 minutes don't let the cauliflower brown! Keep stirring until soft.
Mix 3/4 cup of water to the potato starch until smooth.
Then add the water starch mixture and milk to cauliflower and reduce temperate to low.
Mix until thickened, add 2 good pinches of sea salt.
Remove from heat, add finely chopped dill.
Add more sea salt to taste.
Before serving, divide the cashews and place in the middle of the individual bowls.
Tip: You can also serve cold it is delicious.
