Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a non-vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast the cauliflower for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
  5. While the cauliflower is roasting, heat a large pot over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil if needed.
  6. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until translucent and soft.
  7. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  8. Once the cauliflower is done, add it to the pot with the sautéed onions and garlic.
  9. Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the cauliflower is fully submerged.
  10. Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika, then bring to a gentle boil.
  11. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  12. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a countertop blender in batches.
  13. Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) for creaminess.
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  15. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  16. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
  17. Optionally, drizzle extra coconut milk or cream on top before serving.
  18. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side salad.
