Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into bite-size florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 sprigs rosemary removed stems
- 1 medium yellow onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, and rosemary. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the florets are tender and nicely browned, flipping them halfway through.
- Once the cauliflower florets are roasted, remove them from the oven and discard the rosemary. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Reserve a few nicely browned roasted cauliflower florets for garnish, then add the rest to the pot. Stir in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue simmering for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.
- Once the soup is done, turn off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes to prevent splashing. Use either an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a traditional blender. Blend the soup for 30 seconds, then add the butter and blend again until creamy and smooth (working in batches if necessary).
- Return the soup to the pot and add salt, ground black pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately, garnished with roasted cauliflower florets and chopped parsley on top.
Notes
- Recipe Adapted from: Cookie and Kate
- Roast cauliflower florets in a preheated oven for 15 minutes and flip halfway to have both sides nicely browned.
- You discard the herbs either after roasting to cooking in the soup. Do Not blend the soup with herbs, since you won't want any tough pieces left in the soup.
- Blend the soup once until smooth, then blend again with butter. It smooths out the texture with butter melting during the process.
