Directions

Add the olive oil to a medium pot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook for 8 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the thyme leaves and a generous sprinkling of salt. Continue to cook the onions for another 8 to 10 minutes until they are very soft and lightly browned.
Add the cauliflower and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the collard greens, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, until bright green. Remove from the heat and puree until smooth.
Return the pot to the stove, add the Parmesan, and heat through. Taste for seasonings. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a piece of whole grain bread.

If you are fatigued, buy your collard greens and cauliflower pre-packed and pre-cut for speedy soup making.
