This Mediterranean-style cauliflower soup is creamy, comforting, and packed with nutrients. Roasted cauliflower blends with garlic, cumin, and lemon for a flavorful and velvety vegan soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for roasting)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender with caramelized edges.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cumin, cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Add roasted cauliflower and vegetable broth. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Blend soup using immersion blender or transfer to blender in batches until smooth. Safety note: allow to cool slightly and fill blender only halfway with hot liquid.
  7. Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Choose fresh cauliflower with tight, white florets for best results. Roasting develops deeper flavors than steaming.
  • Use a large 4-6 quart pot for best results. Soup can be made ahead and tastes even better the next day.
