The kale and bean soup last week apparently began a soup making rampage of sorts for me. Just ask my husband - I’ve been a cooking machine lately, but all I want to make is soup! The latest (and maybe 1 of my greatest I’m told) is this roasted cauliflower soup, which provided the two of us with two nights worth of dinner. FYI – it could last longer/feed more mouths if a certain someone (me) didn’t have about 3 bowls each night! What can I say? I love my soup :) Hope you love this one too! Last night we had it with a huge mound of organic collard greens sauteed in garlic and oil. Did I also mention how much I love garlic?
All Natural Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons organic butter (optional, but definitely makes it creamier)
- 7 cloves garlic ( 2 chopped + 5 roasted)
- half an onion chopped
- 4 stalks celery
- 1 head of cauliflower roasted
- 1 32 fl oz box of all natural chicken stock
- dash of hot sauce (doesn’t make it spicy, just adds a touch of vinegary goodness. I like Frank’s Red Hot)
- 1 tsp oregano
- sea salt & black pepper to taste
How to:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Heat oil & butter in large pot
- Add onion, garlic (2 cloves) & celery
- Add sea salt, pepper & oregano
- Cook mixture on medium heat until soft/translucent
- Meanwhile, place cauliflower (broken into chunks) & garlic (unpeeled) on a baking sheet drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with salt & pepper
- Cook at 450 degrees for about 20 mins (or until tops start to get a little brown)
- Add chicken stock to pot
- Add roasted cauliflower & roasted garlic cloves (peeled)
- Add a dash of hot sauce
- Bring to a boil
- Let simmer on low heat for 45 minutes - 1 hour
- Emulsify with a hand blender (ideal) or a regular blender/food processor until smooth
- Enjoy!
love the smell as this soup gets started…onions…garlic… yummmmm
Threw in the cauliflower leaves and stem too (with the onions, garlic & celery) No waste and more nutrients!
Roasting the cauliflower & garlic cloves. Especially loved sampling the crispy, brown bits – delish!
The final product with lots of fresh pepper on top :)

/ November 2, 2010I’ve always wanted to try making roasted cauliflower soup! Yours looks amazing! I’ve been really into soup lately too. But this week it’s supposed to be 90 degrees here again! So I might hold off on the soup at least for now. I’m definitely going to try this recipe though! Thanks!

/ November 2, 2010This looks delish! I tried to make roasted cauliflower leek soup a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn’t like how it turned out. J did like it though so maybe it wasn’t too bad after all. Maybe I’ll give this one a shot next time :)
