Potato Cauliflower Soup
This creamy, dreamy roasted potato and cauliflower soup makes a wonderful appetiser or pair it with a salad or another vegetable dish for a main meal. This recipe can be made with almond milk for a richer soup, or choose the fat-free option for a more healing alternative that still tastes fantastic.
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400F/200C.
Place the cauliflower, potatoes, onions, whole garlic cloves, and rosemary on a baking tray and season with some sea salt (optional) and black pepper. Stir well, then place in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until cooked through and just slightly charred.
When the veggies are ready, reserve 1 heaping cup of them as garnish. Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and move all the roasted vegetables into a large pot. Squeeze the garlic out of its skins and add them in too.
Pour in the Healing Broth and almond milk or optional extra Healing Broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the lemon juice and remove from heat.
Blend the soup until smooth either using a stick blender or in a jug blender (in batches). Add a bit more stock or almond milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
Serve topped remaining veggies and a sprinkle of black pepper.
