Ingredients

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

Instructions

Prep the Cauliflower: Chop the cauliflower into florets and set aside. Roast the garlic bulbs in the oven until soft and fragrant.
Sauté the Onion: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until transparent, about 5 minutes.
Cook the Cauliflower: Add the chopped cauliflower and roasted garlic to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend halfway.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy hot!
