Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower chopped, approx. 6 cups
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking tray with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add cauliflower and whole garlic cloves to baking tray. Drizzle evenly with oil, salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated, then spread out into a single layer.
- Roast at 450°F for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Stir cauliflower once half way through cooking then spread back into an even layer.
- Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in chicken broth, onion powder, thyme, nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Add cauliflower and garlic and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Puree with an immersion blender or working in batches, puree in blender, taking care to let smoke escape or it will explode (I leave a corner open and cover with a paper towel).
- Pour creamy blender contents back into pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a thinner soup, stir in additional chicken broth or milk to reach desired consistency.
