I hope you all had an amazing Christmas.

We woke up to an inch or two of snowfall, giving us a beautiful white Christmas.

I personally didn’t leave the house in 17 degree weather but I was still able to see the blanket of snow from the window.

It’s all the same, right?

I was honestly just too busy faceplanting myself into this cauliflower soup.

It’s the creamiest of all soups, and it has cauliflower in it, so it has to be good for you, right?

We’re just going to overlook this heavy cream situation but hey, we need the heavy cream (although half and half should also do the trick!).

Roasting is key here, guys. Both the garlic and cauliflower get roasted in 30-35 minutes of heaven.

From there, you can use an immersion blender or blender (in batches) for the best winter soup you’ll have in 2017.

Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 5 cups vegetable stock
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Cut head of garlic, about 1/4-inch, to expose tops of garlic cloves. Place garlic head, cut side up, in a sheet of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil and cover tightly.
  • Place cauliflower florets in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine. Place garlic onto the baking sheet.
  • Place into oven and roast until cauliflower and garlic is tender and golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Let cool before squeezing cloves from skin.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in vegetable stock, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in cauliflower and garlic. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until cauliflower is tender and falling apart, an additional 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until desired consistency is reached.
  • Stir in heavy cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable stock as needed until desired consistency is reached.
  • Serve immediately.
