Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Roast the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, turning halfway through.

      Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to the pot with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

          Blend the Soup: After simmering for about 10 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it's completely smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a countertop blender in batches; just be careful of the hot liquid!

            Add Cream and Season: Once blended, return the soup to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Heat through but avoid boiling the soup after adding the cream.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy roasted cauliflower soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or a sprinkle of extra smoked paprika on top.
