Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot filled with boiling water, cook the cauliflower florets for 4-5 minutes until fork-tender. Reserve a cup of the cooking water.
  2. In a blender, combine the cauliflower with crushed garlic, olive oil, nutritional yeast, dried sage, dried thyme, and a bit of the reserved liquid. Blend until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
  3. Heat a splash of olive oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the frozen vegetables and sauté for 1-2 minutes until warmed through and vibrant.
  4. Add the pre-cooked chopped chicken to the pot. Dissolve the Better than Bouillon in about 4 cups of hot water, then pour into the pot. Stir together and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the prepared cauliflower cream into the chicken and vegetable mixture and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add reserved cooking water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped herbs if desired.
