Roasted Cauliflower Soup

This creamy roasted cauliflower soup offers a comforting and healthy meal, blending tender roasted cauliflower with savory spices for a rich, velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or cream)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.
  3. In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the roasted cauliflower to the pot along with vegetable broth and smoked paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches, and blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in almond milk and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme.

Notes

For added richness, swirl in a tablespoon of sour cream or sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds on top before serving.
