Ingredients
  

  • 1 cauliflower head medium size
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 oz cashews
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup cooking cream (15% fat)
  • nutmeg
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 ℉ (200 ℃) with fan.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets and put it on a backing tray. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and toss to cover evenly. Sprinkle salt on the cauliflower. Make sure that the florets are spread evenly.
  • Roast the cauliflower for 20 minutes until tender.
  • While the cauliflower is close to being ready, add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a pot and heat it up. Add the onion and fry for a couple of minutes until it is tender. Then throw in the garlic and fry it for 30 seconds.
  • When the cauliflower is ready, transfer it to the pot and add the chicken or vegetable broth right away. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  • While the soup is simmering, toast the cashews in a small pan until golden.
  • Once the soup is ready, blend it well until it is smooth. Then add the cream, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg, and add more salt if needed. Mix well.
  • Serve the soup with some cashews on top.

Notes

  • You can use other seeds and nuts to garnish if you don't have cashews at hand. You can also add chives, parsley or coriander for a bit of freshness.
  • This soup is on the heavier side, so don't be too generous with your serving size.
  • You can adjust the thickness of the soup by adding a splash of water.
