Light winter vegetable soup with cauliflower, peas, and carrots - healthy, comforting, and perfect for cold days.
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely chop the onion, peel the potatoes and carrots, and cut them into evenly sized cubes. Break the cauliflower into small florets and set everything aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté gently until it becomes soft and slightly translucent, releasing its natural sweetness.
Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, add the diced potatoes and carrots. Reduce the heat slightly and let the soup simmer until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cauliflower florets and peas, then continue cooking until all the vegetables are fully tender but still hold their shape.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with freshly chopped parsley.
Let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop fully.
Serve warm and enjoy a light, comforting bowl perfect for colder days.
