Creamy Roasted Garlic & Cauliflower Soup

I have been playing around with this recipe for awhile and it just keeps getting better and better! I use one whole head of roasted garlic and it’s just bursting with flavour. (and keeps the vampires away)

I know what you are thinking… another soup recipe Rachelle? Honestly it’s just too good not to share with you. This is one of the easiest and creamiest soups I’ve ever made. It doesn’t contain any cream at all. It is pure wholesome ingredients. You can make this vegan friendly too.

The best way to develop big flavours for soups is by roasting your vegetables ahead of time. This also gives your soup a nice golden colour. I love how versatile cauliflower is. I honestly think it is an such an underrated vegetable. (Still waiting for my cauliflower emoji)

This soup is super creamy and comforting! I like to call this my soul in a bowl. Give it a try!
