This vegetarian-friendly soup has a silky and creamy texture that is so hearty.

To make this Cauliflower Bisque with Brown Butter Croutons, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot, combine 2 cups whole milk, 2½ cups vegetable stock, cauliflower, peeled and chopped potatoes, 1 chopped onion, 2 crushed cloves garlic, and 4 sprigs of thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 18-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and cook while swirling the pan occasionally for 2-4 minutes until golden brown.
Add 3 cups cubed ciabatta bread and cook stirring for 10-12 minutes until toasted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When the soup is ready, discard the thyme. Transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. You can do this in batches if needed.
Add ⅓ cup heavy cream and pulse. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with brown butter croutons, pomegranate arils, chopped chives and serve.
