Cream of Cauliflower Soup

This Cream of Cauliflower Soup recipe is vegetarian-friendly, gluten-free, healthy, and, most importantly, delicious. It’s bursting with Mediterranean flavors that take cozy to the next level. This impossibly creamy soup is a healthier spin on the traditionally rich cream of cauliflower soup. It is made with roasted cauliflower and whole milk instead of heavy cream. If you are vegan or milk intolerant, sub out the milk for your favorite unsweetened plant-based milk. A tip: Don’t toss the cauliflower leaves. Roast them alongside the florets, adding the leaves to the baking sheet 5 minutes to the end of cooking time, and roast until golden and charred. Use the roasted leaves to garnish the soup. Enjoy!

Since the cauliflower takes the longest to prepare, start here. It’s easy. Just roast the cauliflower in the oven with olive oil, salt and black pepper until it’s caramelized. This takes about 35 minutes, so while the cauliflower is roasting, chop the onions and garlic. Next, sauté the onions in a large pot until translucent. Then add the garlic and spices and cook just until fragrant. Set aside about one-fourth of the roasted cauliflower and add the remainder to the pot. Now, add the broth and water and bring to a boil. Simmer until the cauliflower is tender. Use an immersion blender to blitz the soup. Return the pot to heat again and stir in the milk, lemon juice, and reserved cauliflower. Finally, stir in the chopped fresh dill and serve hot.
