Ingredients

    1 head cauliflower, cut into 1/8's
    2 tbsp. oil
    Salt & Pepper to taste
    **************************************************
    1 tbsp. butter
    1 medium onion, chopped
    5 cloves garlic, minced
    3 tbsp. flour
    Salt, to taste
    Pepper, to taste
    Dash of cayenne
    Dash of nutmeg
    14oz. can of chicken broth
    1c. half and half, or other creamy substance

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle oil and salt and pepper over caulifower and place on a baking sheet. Roast cauliflower in oven for 30-40 minutes, or until nicely golden brown.
2) Melt butter in a soup pot and add onion and garlic. Saute until lightly golden brown and soft, about 10 minutes.
3) Sprinkle flour and seasonings over onions and stir to coat. Slowly pour in chicken broth and deglaze the pan (scrape up the little brown bits on the bottom of the pan), making sure all the flour is dissolved. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and cover 5-10 minutes.
4) Carefully ladel half the soup mixture into a blender, making sure to leave the top hole open to let steam escape. Puree until smooth and creamy. Pour mixture into bowl and repeat with the other half.
5) Once all soup has been pureed pour back into pot. Add half & half and heat through. Do not bring to boil. Check seasonings and adjust to your liking.
Enjoy!

    I should have covered the cauliflower in the oven with foil as it got too dark before it was soft. Other than that, excellent recipe! - 10/27/10

    Very good. Didn't have a blender, so I used my food processor. My kids really liked it, too! - 10/13/10

    This is a really good soup, I did have to add more broth and milk as mine was very thick. I used 1 can of condensed 2% milk which gave it the really creamy taste with out the high fat content. I am going to try this with broccoli. - 2/3/08

    Really good. I roasted a small onion with the cauliflower as another posted suggested. I also added evaporated milk in place of the half and half since that's what I had on hand and added 1 T of Hormel bacon pieces. Delish! - 3/28/15
