Hello Mommybites Moms!
Anyone as excited as I am about the impending snow? It’s about time, right?
To me, the best part is being home-bound with my family, with nowhere to go and nothing to do – just complete relaxation and togetherness!
And I love cooking up some good old comfort food. Hot chocolate for the kids goes without saying, but my favorite thing to prepare is a hot, nourishing soup.
Enter Roasted Cauliflower Soup – delicious AND nutritious!
Wishing you all a relaxing weekend of snow, togetherness, and soup!
Until next time…

Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrots,chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
1 cup milk (I use almond milk to keep it dairy free)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Put cauliflower in a small roasting pan. Cover with 2 tablespoons of the oil (I like to brush it on with one of these), and sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt on top.
- Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Pour the other 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions/celery/carrot mixture and stir to coat. Slowly add the chicken broth and milk. Mix until all of the flour is dissolved. Bring to a boil while stirring continuously, then reduce heat to low. Add the roasted cauliflower and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender or pour it into a regular blender to make it a creamy consistency. Feel free to add more broth if you like a thinner consistency.
Enjoy!
