Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based alternative (oat milk or almond milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread the florets on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden.
  3. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 5-7 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the roasted cauliflower to the pot along with vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender in batches.
  6. Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in milk or plant-based alternative over low heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
