Roasted Cauliflower and Aged White Cheddar Soup

I’ve made this soup twice in the last couple weeks since I came across it, and I can’t wait to make it again! Alton Brown tell me cauliflower is quite healthy for you, so even though I enjoy it roasted, it’s exciting to find a new way to savor it. The flavors in this soup are AMAZING: complex, a little smokey, unexpected and so delicious. Perfect for a cool day like we’re experiencing today! Husband loves it. Toddler loves it. Friends love it. It’s simple and heart warmingly delicious! Try it out!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Toss the cauliflower florets in the oil with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400°F oven until lightly golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and thyme and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
  4. Add the broth, deglaze the pan, add the roasted cauliflower, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  5. Puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency with a stick blender (or heavy duty blender like a Vitamix).
  6. Mix in the cheese. Let it melt without bringing it to a boil again.
  7. Mix in the milk. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

Enjoy!!
