Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 head cauliflower (cut into bite-size florets)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt (to taste)
- ground black pepper (to taste)
- 2 sprigs rosemary (removed stems)
- 1 medium yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, and rosemary. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the florets are tender and nicely browned, flipping them halfway through.

Once the cauliflower florets are roasted, remove them from the oven and discard the rosemary. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Reserve a few nicely browned roasted cauliflower florets for garnish, then add the rest to the pot. Stir in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue simmering for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.

Once the soup is done, turn off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes to prevent splashing. Use either an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a traditional blender. Blend the soup for 30 seconds, then add the butter and blend again until creamy and smooth (working in batches if necessary).

Return the soup to the pot and add salt, ground black pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately, garnished with roasted cauliflower florets and chopped parsley on top.
