Roasted Cauliflower Soup
This wonderful creamy soup will make you a healthy lunch or satisfying dinner if served with bread.
There is nothing better on a cold winter day than a warm bowl of soup. My family loves soups and I also love making them, especially when i find an interesting new flavor with healthy ingredients. I made lots of delicious soups in the past months and i could not decide which one to post first. I will start my soup section with this excellent, nutritious cauliflower soup. We absolutely loved it. The original recipe called for double the ingredients but since I only had 1 head of cauliflower at home I split every ingredients by half. The ingredients below makes enough for 4 people. If you want to make more, just double the ingredients.
Roasting the cauliflower with the garlicky mixture right before cooking, gives a unique taste to it.
