Delicious Roasted Garlic and Cauliflower Soup

This soup features roasted garlic blended with sautéed cauliflower and onions, creating a smooth and creamy texture. The recipe takes about 50 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
1 whole bulb of garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme (optional)
Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add Cauliflower: Stir in the cauliflower florets and cook for another 5 minutes, mixing well.
Combine Ingredients: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and heat gently without boiling.
Season and Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and thyme if using. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
