Fall is soup weather.
Couch and onesie aside, nothing is cozier or more comforting than a hearty bowl of soup. Roasted Cauliflower Soup in this case!
I am a lover of all the carbs — chowder, chili, stew… You name it, I’ll eat it! I love this recipe in part because it’s crazy quick and easy to make, but also because it’s chalk full of carb-friendly cauliflower. Guilt free and a perfect recipe for sneaking in some veggies for any picky eaters you might have.
Roasting the cauliflower gives it a nutty and buttery flavour, and enhances the color with rich carmelized brown edges. Mmmmm. Whenever you can, always roast the cauliflower!
Throw all the ingredients into your Blendtec and before you know it you’ve got a deliciously hearty soup, hot and ready at your finger tips!
