There is something so cozy and comforting about this Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic Soup. It just hits the right spots. So, smooth, so creamy and so comforting.
When it comes to fall soups, I am someone who is super-excited about it. I mean everyone in my family loves it, but, I just cannot seem to get enough of it.
This creamy, cheesy, and comforting roasted cauliflower soup is like the best thing about this year's fall.
Imagine going through a sickeningly tiring day and then you sit back in your favorite corner of the couch with your favorite blanket and slowly feel every spoon of this creamy, cheesy, and velvety roasted garlic cauliflower soup. That's quite a picture, isn't it?
Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic
When you add roasted garlic and cauliflower, the taste automatically gets so much better. I mean, there is that smokiness, there is a charred taste and when you make a puree of it, the result is so good.
I have used one entire bulb of garlic. If that's too garlicky for you then you can surely add less of it.
What's So Special about this Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Soup?
When it comes to a healthy cauliflower soup, I like to use a bit of cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper adds that little hint of spice which makes the soup hit the right spots.
I never try to go overboard with the spices. After all, taking up a napkin and wiping up sweats is the last thing that you want, when you are enjoying a creamy and velvety bowl of soup.
But, we don't want it to go bland and fall flat. Therefore just a tad bit of cayenne does all the magic.
How Do I make it even better?
I have tried to use everything at my disposal to give this soup the texture and taste that I like and I hope you guys would like. But, I still think that if I had these things then my recipe would be so much better.
- Coconut - Just a dash of freshly grated coconut and some coconut milk, would bring an extra tone of nuttiness and sweetness in our soup.
- Bacon - With a touch of little fried bacon strips we could improve the taste, texture, and consistency of this soup drastically.
