Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 heaping cup diced onion ((140 grams))
• 1 heaping cup diced carrot ((150 grams/1 large))
• 1 cup diced celery ((120 grams/2 large))
• 4 cups veggie broth
• 4 heaping cups diced potatoes ((24 ounces/about 4-5 small-medium cut into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces)*)
• 4 heaping cups cauliflower florets ((450 grams/about 1 medium head) - you want your cauliflower slightly larger than your potatoes)
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt and pepper, to taste
• optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, green onion, coconut cream, hot sauce

Instructions

1. Heat a large dutch oven or nonstick pot over medium heat. Add oil and let it get hot, about 30 seconds. Add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add onion, carrots, and celery and salt and pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
2. Add diced potatoes and cauliflower. Add your broth, mix well, and make sure everything is covered. Place the lid on the pot and let simmer, untouched, over medium to medium-low heat for 17-23 minutes. Be careful that the liquid doesn’t boil over. If needed, adjust the lid so a little air can get in.
3. After 20 minutes the potatoes and cauliflower should be cooked through and tender. Using a measuring cup, remove 1 1/2-2 cups of the cooked cauliflower and potatoes and add to a blender. Try not to get too much liquid (it’s okay if you get some, but less liquid will make it more creamy). Add the buffalo sauce, coconut milk, and cayenne pepper to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add back into the pot and mix to combine.
4. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Let simmer for a minute until well combined. Top with optional toppings and enjoy!
