Roasted Cauliflower Bisque
Love making this soup! Really a bisque but tomay-to, tomah-to. Fall & Winter are full of recipes where ovens are roaring and things are roasting. Veggies like broccoli and cauliflower are so much better roasted than steamed. Those brown bits that crust on top in the oven are sheer heaven in your mouth which means they’ll make for an even better soup!
Our cauliflower bisque freezes beautifully (I feel like Daryl Hannah in Steel Magnolias saying that) and is a super good use of leftovers… so be a smarty and make plenty of veggies when you roast them just so you can have this soup! You’ll thank me later. (And make that cocktail in the picture)
Cut cauliflower and season with olive oil and creole seasoning
Roast in the oven till golden & roasty toasty
Add all the roasted cauliflower to a large pot and heat with good chicken stock. My favorite boxed stock is Pacific Free Range Chicken Broth. Bring the stock and cauliflower to a boil then add in cream and blend together with an immersion blender (love this one with all its gadgets). Top with caramelized onions and goat cheese and you have silky, roasty, cauliflower heaven to slurp on. Mmm!
