There’s something deeply comforting about a pot of soup simmering on the stove while the kitchen fills with warmth. This roasted cauliflower soup was born on a quiet evening when all I had were humble vegetables and a craving for comfort. Roasting the cauliflower transforms it into something magical—nutty, caramelized, and rich. Paired with potatoes and a splash of cream, this soup feels like a gentle hug in a bowl. It’s the kind of recipe you return to when days feel heavy and you want something nourishing without effort. Simple ingredients, familiar aromas, and a smooth, creamy finish make this soup a reliable companion through chilly nights and slow weekends.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup :
Step 1 :
Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them on a baking tray using the Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Baking Sheet, but any tray you have at home works just fine.
Step 2 :
Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté the onions until soft. I use the Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven, though your regular soup pot is perfect.
Step 3 :
Add garlic and potatoes, stirring gently with a Cuisinart Silicone Spatula until fragrant.
Step 4 :
Add roasted cauliflower and stock. Simmer until potatoes are tender, then blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 5 :
Stir in cream and herbs, season to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
