Cauliflower White Bean Soup

This comforting Cauliflower White Bean Soup is as easy as it is delicious. Thickened with cannellini beans and flavored with garlic, thyme, and rosemary, it comes together in about 30 minutes with satisfying results. Make sure to serve it topped with mustardy croutons for the ultimate winter warmer.

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven and add the onions, garlic, dried herbs, and a pinch of each salt and black pepper. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent. Then add the cauliflower florets, cannellini beans, and the stock of choice. Add another pinch of salt and black pepper and simmer until the cauliflower is tender. Meanwhile, make the croutons. Melt the butter and whisk in the Dijon mustard. Pour the butter-mustard mixture over the sourdough bread cubes and toss to coat well. Bake the croutons in the preheated oven until golden and toasty. Once the cauliflower is ready, purée the soup until smooth and creamy. Garnish the soup with fresh thyme and top with Dijon croutons. Serve hot and enjoy!
