Roasted Cauliflower Soup
I used to make cauliflower soup without roasting the cauliflower in the oven first, and once you have done both ways you will notice the difference the roasting makes in the flavor. Roasted cauliflower soup is so much more flavorful than just boiling the cauliflower raw. I like to add a hint of nutmeg to this soup, since it goes really well with the roasted cauliflower flavor.
Did you know that cauliflower is high in vitamin C? It also has a good amount of fiber, making this soup a healthy choice!
For a fancy presentation, save a few of your best looking roasted cauliflower florets to serve on top of the soup.
