Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roast the Cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the roasted cauliflower, vegetable broth, and nutmeg to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend partially and leave some cauliflower pieces intact.
- Add Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk and heat gently without boiling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy warm!
