Ingredients
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
- 1 head cauliflower, florets
- 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 Tbs Smart Balance or other vegan butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Seasoning: black pepper, paprika, ground thyme
- Optional: Olive oil (for drizzling)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF
- On a baking sheet, spread out cauliflower florets. Optionally drizzle a light amount of olive oil over the cauliflower.
- Place cauliflower in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare your onion and garlic.
- Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven.
- In a stockpot, begin sauteing the onion and garlic in some of the vegan butter. Cook on high heat until the onions turn translucent.
- Then, add the cauliflower and about one cup of vegetable broth. Reduce to medium-low heat.
- Use an immersion blender to gradually blend the vegetables and broth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you may transfer the soup ingredients to a food processor or a blender. Gradually add in the vegetable broth while blending.
- Add in seasonings to taste and fully mix together the soup.
- Serve with green onions, spring greens, toast, or crackers, and enjoy!
You may store leftovers in the freeze for 2-4 weeks or in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
