Velvety Roasted Cauliflower, Apple, and Thyme Soup
Cozy Up with Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Looking for a comforting and flavorful soup that’s also surprisingly easy to make? Our Roasted Cauliflower Soup is the answer! This isn’t your average cauliflower soup – roasting the cauliflower first brings out a delicious nutty sweetness that elevates the flavor to a whole new level. It’s perfect for a chilly evening, a light lunch, or even a sophisticated appetizer.
This recipe is naturally vegetarian and can easily be made vegan with a simple broth swap. It’s also incredibly versatile – feel free to experiment with different seasonings and toppings to make it your own. We love a swirl of cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option) and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Why Roast the Cauliflower?
Roasting cauliflower transforms its flavor. The high heat caramelizes the natural sugars, creating a depth of flavor that you just don’t get from boiling or steaming. It also gives the soup a lovely, slightly browned color and a richer texture.
