Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower Soup

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

I promised a recipe if this turned out and it was YUMMY! So here it is!

Ingredients:
1 large head of cauliflower cut into pieces
1-2 potatoes cut into large chunks
3-4 cloves of garlic
1/2 onion diced
2-3 celery stalks diced
1-2 carrots diced
4 cups chicken stock
2-3 cups water
bay leaf
Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
EVOO

Cut the cauliflower into small chunks, and place on a baking sheet with the garlic, drizzle with EVOO. Roast at 375F for about 1/2 hour or until the florets start to caramelize and get brown on one side, turn if needed. In a large pot sauté the onion, carrot and celery in EVOO until soft. place all ingredients into the pot and cover with liquids. Bring to a boil and reduce to med-high heat until potatoes are soft.

I used a immersion blender, the hand held type to blend the soup right in the pot, but you could do it in batches in a blender also.

Serve with grated cheese, garlic toast and a napkin! MMMMMMMM!!!

Also head on over to Women Living Well for their Blog Hop today! I'll be there!

Have you heard about Pinterest? It is such a great resource for ideas and inspiration! It is a virtual cork board where you can "pin" pictures of of neat things you fin on the internet. The pictures link back to the original websites and others can check out the original ideas. The running joke is that most people waste so much time browsing the website and pinning that they never actually do anything that they pin! I have completed several projects from my "pins".

Here are some pins that I have completed:
