How to make this creamy cauliflower soup?
You just have to cut the onions and garlic along with the florets, mix with cumin powder, salt and olive oil. Then toss everything in a pan, spread it around. Then over a high flame in the beginning and then medium to low flame, later on, roast the cauliflower till they have softened and browned on the edges.
Then keep a few florets aside and blend the rest of the florets along with the roasted onions and garlic. Blend it very smooth and you can also pass it through a sieve. Transfer the puree to a pan and add vegetable broth. You can also add chicken stock if you wish to. Adding broth or vegetable stock gives it an incredible depth of flavour. Adjust the seasoning and serve with some fresh herbs, microgreens and roasted almonds. Top with sliced roasted cauliflower florets.
