Creamy Cauliflower Soup Recipe – Healthy and Comforting Bowl

This creamy cauliflower soup is smooth, savoury and comforting without needing heavy cream. Roasting the cauliflower adds nutty flavour, while garlic and a little stock keep the bowl light enough for lunch.

Ingredients

• 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 onion and 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups vegetable stock
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin, salt and black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cream or coconut milk, optional

Method

1. Roast cauliflower, onion and garlic with oil, salt and cumin at 200°C for 25 minutes.
2. Transfer to a pot, add stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Blend until silky smooth. Stir in cream or coconut milk and adjust seasoning.
4. Serve with toasted seeds, herbs or crusty bread.

Tips and storage

Do not add too much stock before blending; thin the soup gradually. Refrigerate for 4 days or freeze for 2 months and reheat gently.
