Creamy Aromatic White Soup

1. Sauté Onions and Garlic

Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté them together until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Potatoes and Cauliflower

Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the flavorful mix of onions and garlic. Allow the vegetables to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they start to become slightly tender.

3. Add Broth and Simmer

Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Let the soup cook for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are fully cooked and tender.

4. Season the Soup

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and your choice of dried thyme or rosemary. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, ensuring it suits your palate.

5. Add Cream and Serve

Stir in the heavy cream or whole milk to add a rich creaminess to the soup. Let it heat through for a few minutes, but do not let it boil, as this can cause the cream to curdle. Serve hot.
