Best Roasted Cauliflower Dill Soup Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the chopped cauliflower, any cauliflower leaves and the onions on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together, then arrange in an even layer. Roast until the cauliflower is browned and cooked through but still has some bite, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potato and turmeric, add the stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until the potato is soft, about 10 minutes.
• When the cauliflower is done, reserve about 1 cup cauliflower for the topping (including leaves, if you have them) and add the remaining cauliflower and onions to the soup. Return the soup to a simmer and cook until flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Blitz with an immersion blender until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. When you are ready to serve, ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Top with the reserved roasted cauliflower and a scattering of almonds and parsley.

DILL ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the fresh dill. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until fork-tender.
• In a stock pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the leek and sauté for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and celery seed powder. Cook for 30 seconds before adding the cauliflower, remaining dill, and broth.
• Bring to a simmer, add the beans, and bring to a simmer again.
• Blend with an immersion blender, add lemon, salt and pepper to taste, and mix together. Serve hot with fresh bread!

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the cauliflower, garlic and 1/4 cup of olive oil to a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until the cauliflower is fork tender and lightly charred in places, about 25 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, potatoes, celery, onion and thyme. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have developed at the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth, Parmesan rind and roasted cauliflower and garlic. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and cover. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the cheese rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove the cheese rind and discard.
• In batches, carefully transfer the mixture to a high powered blender. Blend until completely smooth (see Cook's Note).
• Once all the soup is blended, add it back into the Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a pinch of pepper and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER & DILL SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Using a knife and your hands, break cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and place in large bowl. Peel and slice carrots and add to bowl. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat. Spread into a single layer in a large roasting pan [or onto a large baking sheet with a rim] and season with pepper. DON'T add salt at this point; your broth will probably add plenty. Roast vegetables in the middle of the oven until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, for about 25 to 35 minutes [mine took the full 35]. Remove from oven and transfer back to the bowl you used earlier. The soup can be made a day ahead up to this point; cool vegetable slightly, then cover and refrigerate.
• If you're making it right away, peel and chop onion and garlic while the cauliflower mixture roasts. When it's ready, heat a large, heavy pot or dutch oven over a medium flame. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté onion until softened and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add cauliflower mixture to pot, along with broth and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low to let soup simmer 20 minutes or so.
• Toward the end of this time, carefully ladle out 3 cups of cauliflower and broth and purée it in a food processor or blender. Avoid puréeing carrots with the cauliflower and broth. I do this partly to maintain the soup's pale, creamy color and partly because you want the sweetness of the carrots to be isolated bites as you eat the soup, and not to add an overall sweet flavor to it.
• Return the purée to the soup pot and stir to blend. Remove from heat, stir in the fresh dill and adjust seasoning with salt. Serve.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place the cauliflower in a small roasting pan. Drizzle with oil and season with nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown and tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook and stir until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Slowly pour the chicken broth and milk into the pan. Mix with a wire whisk until all of the flour is dissolved. Bring to a boil while stirring continuously until it thickens, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the sherry and the roasted cauliflower. Serve as is, or blend half and recombine with the rest of the soup for a thicker consistency.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Place the cauliflower florets into a large bowl of lightly salted water; allow to stand for 20 minutes. Drain well, and arrange on a sheet of heavy aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Spray the olive oil cooking spray evenly on the cauliflower.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Broil the cauliflower until browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large soup pot, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the garlic and roasted cauliflower. Pour in the water, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Blend the soup in the pot with an immersion hand blender until creamy and smooth.

• Preheat oven to 400°F Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine all other ingredients to make a sauce, whisking until blended. Include generous amounts of fresh ground black pepper.
• Pour marinade over the cauliflower and toss until coated. Spread on baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the cauliflower.
• Bake for 30-45 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Toss once, if desired, halfway through cooking. The cauliflower should have some browning around the edges.

BEET-AND-CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH DILL

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat, and add onion; saute until just translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in cauliflower, beets, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until beets and cauliflower are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in dill. Let soup cool 10 minutes, then puree in batches until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to thin.
• Return soup to pot, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, and garnish with dill sprigs before serving. Soup can be refrigerated 1 day; let cool completely before refrigerating. Gently reheat before serving.
