  1. Prep and Roast the Cauliflower

Then, place in a preheated oven to roast for 25 – 30 minutes.First, Preheat the oven to 400F. Then, wash the cauliflower, dry it with a paper towel, and cut it. Cutting the cauliflower helps it roast quicker. Place the cut cauliflower on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet, sprinkle some salt, black pepper, and about one tablespoon of olive oil, and combine using your hands. Ensure the cauliflower spread out on the sheet. Then, place in a preheated oven to roast for 25 – 30 minutes.

  2. Prep the rest of the Veggies

    While the cauliflower roasts in the oven, prepare the other vegetables. Wash and cut the onions, celery, and jalapeño. Grate garlic and ginger and set everything aside. To save time, you can use pre-cut vegetables.While the cauliflower roasts in the oven, prepare the other vegetables. Wash and cut the onions, celery, and jalapeño. Grate garlic and ginger and set everything aside. To save time, you can use pre-cut vegetables.

  3. Sauté the Veggies

    Place a clean pan on the stove and add some olive oil (1 TBS), allow the oil to heat up and then add the vegetables. Season the veggies with salt, pepper, and Knorr, and throw in the fresh thyme sprigs and grated ginger. Add roasted cauliflower and broth. Simmer.

  4. Add the Coconut Milk

    Add coconut milk when the soup begins to simmer, and stir well to ensure the coconut milk mixes well into the soup! Then, taste for flavors and adjust. Simmer the soup for a few more minutes, and it will be ready for the next step – blending.

  5. Blend your Cauliflower Soup

    If you are satisfied with the soup’s taste, proceed to blend it using an immersion blender (if you have it). I typically use my regular blender. Gently scoop some soup into the blender and blend until creamy, then pour it into a clean bowl and repeat the process to blend all the soup. Then garnish with a few more roasted cauliflower, olive oil, jalapeno slices, parsley, or fresh thyme! Serve with soda bread, grilled cheese, or biscuits, or enjoy as is.Creamy roasted cauliflower soup is a perfect hearty soup recipe for every family member!
