Cauliflower Soup

Course Soups

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups 1-inch cauliflower florets from 1-1/2 lb cauliflower
  • Pacific vegetable broth
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 1 med chopped onion
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Smash the garlic cloves with the side of the knife.
  • Place the cauliflower florets and smashed garlic in a large bowl and drizzle with vegetable broth. Shake the bowl a few times to coat the cauliflower evenly with the broth.
  • In a small bowl combine the turmeric, cumin, salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Sprinkle evenly over cauliflower, tossing well to coat evenly.
  • Place the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven until browned and tender, about 25-30 minutes, turning the florets occasionally so they are evenly cooked. Reserve 1 cup.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium heat, add some broth and onion and cook until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the broth and transfer the remaining roasted cauliflower to the pot, bring to a boil and cook covered on low 15 minutes.
  • Use a hand blender (or regular blender carefully in batches) and blend until smooth.
  • Salt to taste as needed and serve topped with roasted cauliflower and cilantro. You could even drizzle a little Greek yogurt on top, if you’d like. Makes 4 1/2 cups.
