Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On the baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Arrange in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the cauliflower is tender and caramelized on the edges, 25 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.
- In a soup pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive on medium heat, then add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir occasionally until the onion has turned translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds, then add the broth.
- Transfer the roasted cauliflower to the pot, keeping a few of the prettiest pieces for garnish. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
- When cooked, 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!)
- Blend until smooth. Add the lemon juice and nutmeg and blend again. Add additional salt to taste.
- Top your bowl with roasted cauliflower florets and a sprinkle of pine nuts.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for about four days. It lasts for several months in the freezer.
