CAULIFLOWER SOUP

The BEST flavours are created when roasting your cauliflower rather than boiling it. Nothing beats the caramelized edges and buttery, nutty flavours you get from roasting the cauliflower together with onions and garlic to make the best cauliflower soup recipe! Vegetarian, low carb, Keto and IRRESISTIBLE!

HOW DO YOU MAKE EASY CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP

When reading Roasted Cauliflower Soup you may be thinking, ‘why not just boil it?’ Why not make it easier? The truth is cauliflower is pretty bland and begs for flavour. You can flavour a boiled cauliflower soup with as many seasonings as you have, but it doesn’t come close to the flavours that are naturally baked into roasted cauliflower. To add to those delicious flavours, you’re going to mix cauliflower florets with smashed whole garlic cloves and sliced onion; drizzle over some olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

HERBS

For added flavour, you can add herbs like thyme, rosemary or parsley.

Roast, mixing half way through cooking time to blend all of the flavours together, until the cauliflower changes colour to a light brown with caramelized golden edges. It can take between 25-30 minutes all up. The onions and garlic get caramelized in the process, adding more flavour to your cauliflower soup. Colour = flavour.

The cauliflower, onions and garlic are boiled in chicken stock (or broth) with herbs of your choice to release all of their flavours into the liquid. Don’t skip this part. The cauliflower becomes so tender in this process, turning the soup into a delicious golden colour, while the flavours marry into each other. Blend with either an immersion blender or puree in a blender (be careful of escaping steam).

HOW DO YOU THICKEN UP CAULIFLOWER SOUP?

This cauliflower soup has the perfect liquid to cauliflower ratio and doesn’t need any thickening agents. If you like EXTRA THICK soup, only add 4 cups of stock instead of 5 when boiling. We find 5 to be perfect to suit our taste. Having said that, if you find for some reason your soup has turned out too thin, feel free to use a cornstarch slurry (1 part cornstarch to 2 parts liquid) to thicken it up.

SPICES TO ADD TO CAULIFLOWER SOUP

I find that you don’t need to add extra flavour to roasted cauliflower soup from here. Just salt and pepper is enough. For a kick of heat, you can add in cayenne pepper, chili powder or hot sauce. Curry powder or paste also works really well. Luxurious and healthy CREAMY Cauliflower Soup that happens to be guilt free and a family favourite? YES!
