Equipment

  • 1 Large pot or Dutch Oven
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Ladle

Method
 

  1. Saute Aromatics: Melt a little butter in a large pot and then add in onion, garlic and celery. Cook until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Veggies: Add the cauliflower florets and allow to cook for a couple of minutes so it can flavour the veggies.
  3. Pour Broth: Pour chicken or vegetable broth and bring mixture to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is tender.
  4. Add Salmon: Toss in the salmon portion into the pot and simmer for approximately 7–8 minutes (or until the salmon is soft and flakey).
  5. Stir in Cream: Whisk in heavy cream and almond milk, stirring until creamy.
  6. Season and Finish – Add spinach, thyme, dill, salt, and pepper. Simmer briefly, then rest for a few minutes before serving hot.

Notes

  • Use skinless salmon for convenience.
  • Do not overcook salmon; it should be tender and flaky.
  • Replace Cauliflower with Zucchini for a different texture.
  • To make a thicker soup, purée half the cauliflower before adding cream.
  • That you always season at the end, to bring the flavors into perfect balance.
