Ingredients

1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, peeled
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Chop the cauliflower and onion, and peel the garlic cloves.
Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the garlic cloves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for about 15-20 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Cook the Cauliflower: Add the chopped cauliflower and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Blend the Soup: Add the roasted garlic to the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, and heat gently over low heat. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if desired.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
