Ingredients

    1 Head Cauliflower (about 3 lbs.)
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1/2 tsp. Fresh Grated Nutmeg
    Salt and Pepper

    Broth//
    2 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1 Large Shallot, chopped
    1 Clove Garlic, chopped
    3 Cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
    1 tsp. Dried Thyme
    1 Tbsp. White Balsamic Vinegar (or regular, but the white is nice and won't discolour the soup)

    Toppings//
    1 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1 Cup Fresh Torn Bread, roughly 1” pieces
    Ground Pepper
    Fresh Thyme Leaves
    Goat feta, crumbled

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450′.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and spread them on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the fresh nutmeg and a hefty pinch of salt and pepper and toss everything to coat. Bake on the middle rack for about 35-45 minutes, tossing the cauliflower halfway through, until they are fully roasted and you see a good amount of brown edges. There is a pretty wide grace period here. Remove to cool.
While the cauliflower roasts, start the broth. Heat the oil in a saucepan and saute the shallots and garlic for about 5 minutes to soften. Add the vegetable broth, dried thyme and vinegar and warm through.
When the cauliflower is cool to touch, add it and the broth mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste for salt and pepper. If you want more contrast, add a bit more vinegar. Add it back to the saucepan to keep warm.
To make the croutons, heat the remaining oil in a small pan, add the torn bread and a pinch of ground pepper and stir it around for 5-8 minutes until crisp and the edges are browned.
Serve each portion with a few croutons, and a pinch of fresh thyme leaves and feta.
