Method

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add thyme and paprika. Continue cooking until the spices become fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Add cauliflower, potato, and vegetable stock. Partially cover with a lid and allow the soup to simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender.
Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a few crunchy croutons, and fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
