Ingredients

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 medium onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for dairy-free option)

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and caramelized.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the roasted cauliflower, broth, thyme, and smoked paprika to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend in batches using a regular blender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and adjust seasoning as needed. Heat for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.

Adjust seasoning to taste, and feel free to add a touch of chili flakes for extra spice.

If the soup thickens upon storing, simply add more broth when reheating.

For added texture, top with crispy croutons or a drizzle of olive oil.
