Roasted Cauliflower Garlic And Coconut Soup Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH COCONUT AND TURMERIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, or until tender and caramelized.
• Meanwhile in a large soup pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, remaining ¼ teaspoon turmeric, and a pinch of salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until softened and slightly translucent. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly caramelized. Add the Thai chili paste and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in ¾ cup (180 mL) chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any caramelized bits, and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the remaining chicken broth, grated ginger, and the roasted cauliflower to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to heat to a low and simmer the soup for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
• Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix, and puree until smooth - adding additional broth if necessary. Transfer the soup back to the soup pot, place over low heat, and whisk in the coconut milk. Stir in the lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve hot and garnish with cilantro as desired.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the cauliflower, garlic and 1/4 cup of olive oil to a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until the cauliflower is fork tender and lightly charred in places, about 25 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, potatoes, celery, onion and thyme. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have developed at the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth, Parmesan rind and roasted cauliflower and garlic. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and cover. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the cheese rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove the cheese rind and discard.
• In batches, carefully transfer the mixture to a high powered blender. Blend until completely smooth (see Cook's Note).
• Once all the soup is blended, add it back into the Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a pinch of pepper and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
