Creamy Roasted Garlic Soup Recipes

CREAMY ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If desired, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• On the baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until lightly and evenly coated in oil. Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake until the cauliflower is tender and caramelized on the edges, 25 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.
• Once the cauliflower is almost done, in a Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and turning translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the broth.
• Reserve 4 of the prettiest roasted cauliflower florets for garnish. Then transfer the remaining cauliflower to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, to give the flavors time to meld.
• Once the soup is done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender, working in batches if necessary. (Do not fill past the maximum fill line or the soup could overflow!)
• Add the butter and blend until smooth. Add the lemon juice and nutmeg and blend again. Add additional salt, to taste (I usually add another 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon, depending on the broth). This soup tastes amazing once it's properly salted! You can also a little more lemon juice, if it needs more zing. Blend again.
• Top individual bowls of soup with 1 roasted cauliflower floret and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, green onion and/or chives. This soup keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about four days, or for several months in the freezer.

CREAMY ROASTED PARSNIP AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Parsnips -- On a baking sheet, non stick or lined with parchment paper, add the parsnips and drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Just toss lightly to coat evenly. Roast on the middle shelf in a 400 degree oven. Make sure to stir a couple of times during baking until they get lightly golden brown. They will take around 30 minutes.
• Vegetable Base -- In a large soup pot, add the onions, potato, garlic and butter and bring to medium heat. You really want to sweat the onions and soften slowly, you don't want to brown them. They should take 5-7 minutes. Then add in the parsnips, vegetable broth and cook until the parsnips and vegetables are tender.
• Puree -- I love to use my immersion blender, but you could certainly use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just work in smaller batches so you don't over fill the blender. Blend until you get the desired texture you like. I like mine with a little texture, but you can puree it all the way smooth if you want.
• If you use a blender, return to the pot and add any additional, salt and pepper and the allspice to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes or so on medium low heat.
• Garnish -- As the soup is finishing, make your garnish. Ham: In a small sauce pan, saute the ham until lightly crispy. Sour Cream: Mix the sour cream and chives together.
• Serve -- A dollop of the sour cream and chives and the crispy ham. ENJOY!
