Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and starting to brown.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the roasted cauliflower to the pot.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream, stirring constantly until the soup is well mixed and heated through.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
Tips:
- Roast the cauliflower until it is nicely browned to add a deeper flavor to your soup.
- Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent before adding other ingredients to build a solid flavor base.
- Use a high-quality cheddar cheese for a more robust flavor.
- Blend the soup thoroughly for a smooth consistency, but if you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse a few times instead of blending completely.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste after blending, as the flavors will meld together during cooking.
This Roasted Cauliflower and Cheddar Soup is a comforting, delicious meal that brings warmth to your table. With a perfect blend of flavors and creaminess, it's sure to become a favorite.
