Roasted Cauliflower Soup is a creamy, comforting dish that enhances the mild flavor of cauliflower with deep, roasted notes. Blended with aromatics like garlic and onions, this soup is savory, satisfying, and healthy, perfect for chilly nights or light lunches.

Ingredients

  1. 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. Salt and pepper, to taste
  4. 1 medium onion, chopped
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  7. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for extra flavor)
  8. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for a warm flavor)
  9. 1 cup milk (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
  10. 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for added richness)
  11. 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  12. Fresh parsley or thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once, until golden and tender.

  1. In a pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add roasted cauliflower, vegetable broth, cumin, and nutmeg (if using). Simmer for 10-15 minutes to blend flavors.
  3. Blend the soup with an immersion blender or in batches until smooth and creamy. Be cautious as the soup will be hot!
  4. Stir in milk (or coconut milk) and heavy cream (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with parsley or thyme and a slice of crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  1. For a vegan version, use coconut milk instead of dairy milk and heavy cream.
  2. Spice it up by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper when sautéing the onions and garlic.
  3. Add other roasted vegetables like carrots or parsnips for added flavor and texture.
  4. Top with roasted chickpeas, nuts, or seeds for extra crunch.
