Velvety Roasted Cauliflower Soup

This delicious and flavourful soup can be make the day before and served as an appetizer in shot glasses or part of your main course!

Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower cut into florets (about 5 cups)
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil divided
• 1/2 bulb garlic
• 1 yellow onion chopped
• 1 red onion chopped
• 1 can full fat coconut milk
• 1 apple roughly chopped
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 tsp grey or pink sea salt divided
• 1/2 bunch fresh thyme optional garnish

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 400F. Place cauliflower and garlic (leave the bulb whole) onto a baking sheet. Melt half the coconut oil and pour over cauliflower, toss to coat, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes, tossing halfway through.
2. Meanwhile, melt the rest of the coconut oil in a soup pot over low heat and add chopped onion and the rest of the sea salt. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until translucent. Add thyme and apple, tossing for another 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
3. Once cauliflower is nice and brown, add to the soup pot along with your veggie stock. Bring to a boil, turn down heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Finally squeeze garlic out and add to soup along with coconut milk.
5. Blend soup in a blender (about 1/3 at a time – do not over fill – the lid will blow off!)
6. Serve hot in shot glasses or soup bowls, garnished with a twig of fresh thyme.
