Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
3. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
4. In a pot, sauté onions over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Add the roasted cauliflower and white beans to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.
7. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until silky smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Tip: For a creamier texture, feel free to add a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream before serving.

For added depth, try stirring in a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of nutmeg while blending. If you prefer a thinner soup, simply add more vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency.

Don’t have white beans on hand? Canned chickpeas or kidney beans can be excellent substitutes. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, and it freezes well for up to a month.
