- Place the foil with the garlic onto one corner of the baking sheet. Roasted garlic and cauliflower for 35 minutes. Stir cauliflower halfway through and spread out again. Reserve 4 cauliflower florets for garnish.

Notes
- Be careful is using your blender to puree the soup. You don't want the lid to blow off from the steam being released. Work in batches, cover the lid with a kitchen towel, and hold the lid down while blending.
