Vegan Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 heads Cauliflower cored and cut into small florets
- 2 heads Garlic separated, smashed, and peeled
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 c Onions chopped
- 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme tied with kitchen twine
- 4 c Vegetable Broth
- 2 c Almond Milk unsweetened and plain
- 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1.5 tsp Sea Salt
- .5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Spread the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves out over the lined baking tray.
- Dry roast the cauliflower and garlic for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cauliflower is flecked with a rich golden-brown hue.
- Meanwhile, about 10 minutes before the cauliflower is ready, heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onion and thyme sprigs and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cauliflower and garlic have finished roasting, add them to the stockpot along with the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, and carefully remove the thyme sprigs. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup. It will take about 5 minutes or more to get the soup completely smooth, so just keep blending until the texture reaches the desired consistency.
- Stir in the almond milk, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Use the immersion blender to briefly blend again. Then, taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sea salt and black pepper if desired.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
