Description
This roasted cauliflower soup is a blend of simple ingredients to create the perfect creamy purée. Just roast a few ingredients, then blend! Super easy!
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 1 white or yellow onion
- 3–4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil, or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups vegetable broth, or more for a thinner consistency
Garnish:
- Roasted cauliflower florets
- Toasted almond slices
- Thyme
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cut the cauliflower head in half through the stem, then quarters. Remove the florets and slice large ones into small pieces.
3. Add the cauliflower florets to a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
4. Use your hands to mix everything together on the baking tray.
5. Slice the onion in half, leaving the skin on. Rub oil on the cut side and place it cut side down on the baking sheet.
6. Slice one end off the unpeeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and place on the baking sheet.
7. Roast everything for 30-35 minutes, until cauliflower edges are golden.
8. Save a few florets for garnish. Transfer the rest to a high-powered blender.
9. Remove skins from onion and garlic, and add them to the blender.
10. Pour in the vegetable broth and blend on high for one minute. Add more broth or water for thinner consistency if desired.
11. Serve in bowls topped with reserved roasted cauliflower florets, toasted almond slices, and fresh thyme.
Notes
For best results, use a high-powered blender to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
You can substitute olive oil with ghee or butter for a richer flavor.
This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days and freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
