Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium (1.5 lbs) Cauliflower head
- 6 whole cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 cups low-sodium Vegetable broth
- 1 medium, chopped Yellow onion
- 1 cup full-fat Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- To taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prep and Preheat: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper
- Season Cauliflower: Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper in bowl until evenly coated
- Prepare Garlic: Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil with olive oil drizzle for gentle roasting
- Roast Vegetables: Spread cauliflower on baking sheet, add foil-wrapped garlic, roast 25-30 minutes until golden
- Sauté Onion: Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat, cook chopped onion until translucent (5 minutes)
- Combine and Simmer: Add roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, and coconut milk to pot, bring to simmer
- Blend to Perfection: Use immersion blender to blend until completely smooth and creamy
- Serve Hot: Ladle into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, garnish with fresh herbs if desired
Notes
- Cut cauliflower florets uniformly to ensure even roasting and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked
- Don’t skip wrapping garlic in foil as this prevents burning while allowing the cloves to become sweet and caramelized
- Use full-fat coconut milk for richest texture, but light coconut milk works if you prefer a lighter soup
- Taste and adjust seasoning after blending as roasted vegetables may need additional salt to bring out their flavors
