Soup is something that, until a few years ago, I thought had to be really complicated. I'm not sure why/where I learned that, but I've most definitely moved away from that belief and am now 100% a fan of soups that are not complicated. You don't need 6 hours and a long ingredient list to have delicious soup. Last night I made a soup that took 20 minutes, had 5 ingredients, and was amazing. Also, that turmeric broccoli soup? SO so easy, and so so tasty. So, here's another: Dill roasted cauliflower soup.
Roasting vegetables is one of my favorite ways to speed up the soup making process (debatably — I know roasting takes time, but it's so passive!), while adding a depth of flavor you just don't get from cooking on the stove. This recipe starts with roasted cauliflower — smothered in dill — and is relatively simple from there on. I opted for leeks instead of onions, garlic, celery seed powder, Pacific Foods Organic Vegetable Broth (as usual!), white beans for some body, and lemon for a little tangy lift. It's easy, quick, and DELICIOUS with a loaf of crusty bread. OH so good!!
Need a little inspiration? Here's a quick video of making this soup — it seriously is this easy!! Get on it!!
I hope you're all having a wonderful week! I know mine has been filled with as much warm soup as possible — it's been COLD here in Portland! xoxo
