This rich and creamy roasted cauliflower and garlic soup packs a punch of flavor from the whole head of roasted garlic, and is finished off with a luxurious drizzle of truffle oil.
Ingredient :
-
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
-
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 whole garlic bulb
-
4 cups vegetable broth
-
2 tablespoons truffle oil, plus more as needed
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
salt and pepper to taste
Directions :
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cut the top off the garlic bulb crosswise to expose the cloves; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Place wrapped garlic bulb on the baking sheet with cauliflower.
-
Roast in the preheated oven until cauliflower is golden brown and garlic is soft, about 30 minutes. Cool garlic and squeeze roasted cloves from their skins.
-
In a blender, combine cauliflower, garlic cloves, vegetable broth, and truffle oil. Blend until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Add heavy cream and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Ladle soup into bowls and lightly drizzle with additional truffle oil, if desired.
