How To Make Creamy Cauliflower Soup
This easy, cozy homemade creamy cauliflower soup follows three simple steps.
First, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, ground black pepper and rosemary in a bowl and roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Next, heat a heavy-bottom pot with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until aroma. Add roasted cauliflower florets and vegetable broth, stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cauliflower is almost melted in the pot.
Finally, blend the soup with either an immersion blender, or carefully transfer the soup into a traditional blender. Blend for 30 seconds, then add butter and blend for another 30 seconds or more until the soup becomes silky smooth and creamy.
Season the soup with salt, pepper and one tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately.
Cooking Tips
For the best result, please follow my tips below.
Roast cauliflower florets in a preheated oven for 15 minutes and flip halfway to have both sides nicely browned. You discard the herbs either after roasting to cooking in the soup. Do Not blend the soup with herbs, since you won’t want any tough pieces left in the soup. Blend the soup once until smooth, then blend again with butter. It smooths out the texture with butter melting during the process.
