Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for enhanced flavor)

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 tablespoons

Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large baking sheet, place the cauliflower florets and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Toss until the florets are evenly coated, then arrange them in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic along with the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and grated nutmeg. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the spices become fragrant.

      Combine and Simmer: Once the cauliflower has finished roasting, transfer it to the pot with the sautéed onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 10-15 minutes, which will help the flavors meld beautifully.

        Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until it reaches a silky-smooth consistency. If using a stand blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches, being cautious with the hot liquid.

          Incorporate Creaminess: Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Heat gently until warmed through, ensuring you do not bring it to a boil.

            Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Drizzle with a little extra coconut milk (or cream) for a decorative touch, and sprinkle generously with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Serve hot for a comforting dish!
