📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add a few inches of water to a large soup pot or Dutch oven then place a steamer basket inside. Turn the heat to high to bring the water to a boil then add the cauliflower to the basket, place a lid on top, turn the heat down to medium, and steam until the cauliflower is tender, ⏱️ 5-6 minutes. Scoop the cauliflower into a blender then pour out the liquid from the pot and set aside.
2
To the blender add 1/2 cup chicken broth, nutritional yeast (if using), and salt then blend until the cauliflower is velvety smooth. Set aside.
3
Place the soup pot over medium-high heat then add the ground beef. Season with seasoned salt and pepper then saute until the beef is cooked through. Scoop into a bowl then set aside.
4
Turn the heat down to medium then melt the butter inside the pot. Add the shallots, celery, and carrots, season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper, then saute until the vegetables are tender, ⏱️ 8-10 minutes, placing a lid on top of the pot if the vegetables are taking too long to soften. Halfway through the softening process, add dried basil, parsley, and dill then continue to saute.

Add 2-1/2 cups chicken broth, potatoes, and cooked ground beef to the pot then turn the heat up to high to bring the liquid to a simmer. Place a lid on top, turn the heat down to low, then simmer until the potatoes are tender, ⏱️ 10-12 minutes. Remove the lid then stir in the blended cauliflower mixture and milk, and bring the soup back up to a simmer.
