I’m curious why you roast the cauliflower until just barely soft.
My guess would be that roasting adds much more flavor to the veggies, compared to just steaming them, and the garlic bulb does need to be roasted. I love roasted veggies! Looking forward to trying this soup recipe! Thank you, Jill!
This is very good! I added a bit of soy sauce to mine in the end and a bit of dried thyme I believe. Overall, it’s very good. I especially love how fast it comes together! Usually soups take hours to get them to taste like anything, but not this one! Must be due to the roasted veggies. I’ll be making this again. It’s perfect for lunch! Thanks for another great recipe!
This soup is amazing. The addition of chickpeas creates a creamy mouth feel. Very satisfying.
O.m.g.!!! This is so wonderful. Tweaked the recipe a bit adding my favorite seasonings. Used white lime balsamic for half the lemon then a bit of curry and nutmeg and a few grinds of fermented white pepper. Sprinkle of fresh chives finished it off. What’s so lovely about this recipe is that it’s great as written but open to customization. My favorite kind. Thanks for sharing.
