Ingredients
- 1 cauliflowermedium to large, broken into florets
- 2-3cloves garlic
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 3-4cups vegetable stock
- 1wedge lemonseeded (about 1/8 of the fruit)
- 1/2cup milk(or cream or plant based milk) OPTIONAL
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- black pepperfreshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F (204C). Toss cauliflower and garlic cloves with olive oil and salt, place in single layer in a shallow baking dish or sheets pan. Roast for approximately 40 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. The cauliflower will shrink as it cooks.
- Remove cauliflower and garlic from oven and cool (15-20 minutes), then place in a food food processor or blender, reserving 3-5 pieces of cauliflower to use as garnish for each bowl of soup.. Add 3 cups of stock and a squeeze of the lemon wedge, pulse until smooth. Once the soup is blended, check for consistency – if it’s too thick for you, add some or all of the 4th cup of stock and re-blend.
- Pour into soup pot – if you’re using milk, whisk it in now. Taste the soup and add more salt if needed, then simmer on medium-low for 10-15 minutes. OR, if you prefer the soup chilled, pour soup into a large bowl, whisk in cream or milk, then refrigerate for several hours.
- Transfer soup to serving bowls (or glasses are nice for chilled soup), garnish and serve.
