How to Make Savory Cauliflower And Yam Soup

1. Warm the chicken stock in a large stock pot over medium heat.
2. While the broth warms, microwave the cubed yam with a little water (2 tablespoons) in a microwave-safe bowl for 8-10 minutes, or until very tender.
3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
4. Transfer the cooked yam to a blender. Add enough warm chicken stock to create a smooth puree. Add the spinach and blend until finely chopped, but not completely pureed.
5. Pour the yam-spinach puree into the stock pot.
6. Add the sauteed onions and garlic to the soup. Add the cauliflower florets and diced tomatoes (undrained).
7. In a separate small saucepan, cook the chopped carrots in 1/2 cup of water until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
8. Add the cooked carrots and their cooking liquid to the soup.
9. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and any other desired spices to taste.
10. Bring the soup to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
11. Stir in the heavy cream (if using) just before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
