how to cook Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup

Serves: 4

Time: 24 minutes (15 minutes roasting time, 7 minutes boiling time, 2 minutes blending time)

Cauliflower is one of the best soup ingredients, because when you puree it, it’s naturally silky-smooth and creamy. When you roast it first, the flavor gets amped up. All it needs for seasoning is garlic, salt, pepper, and an onion. For extra creaminess, you’ll be adding half-and-half right before you puree the soup and season.

Ingredients:

1 large cauliflower’s worth of florets

3 cups chicken stock

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 chopped onion

3 minced garlic cloves

1 cup half-and-half Salt and pepper to taste
