Recipe adapted from Roasted Red Pepper and Cauliflower Soup – Food Dolls.
I make this every year on my birthday because it’s a warm, savory veggie bisque, and something about that just speaks to my soul.
Roasted Red Pepper & Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
- 16 oz tomatoes (frozen or canned local tomatoes from summer past)
- 1 head of cauliflower
- Half a bunch of carrots
- 1 head garlic, separated and peeled
- 1 shallot or small red onion
- 16 oz jar roasted red pepper
- Optional: This recipe allows you to sneak in any fresh greens from your fridge that might need to get used up. Spinach works great in this recipe.
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Cracked pepper to taste
- 14.5 oz full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F.
- Chop your veggies, then add them together in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, toss to coat all veggies, and let them sit for 15 minutes. This simple step draws away moisture and brings out their flavor.
- Using a colander, drain your roasted red peppers.
- Add garlic, tomatoes, cauliflower, carrots, shallot, roasted red pepper, and any greens to a baking dish. Season with pepper and a little salt. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes. Remove your baking dish and add your greens. Using tongs or a spoon, toss again to coat.
- Roast for 20-25 more minutes. (If you don’t have any greens, you can skip the above step and just roast for 40-45 minutes).
- Remove baking dish from oven and transfer to a soup pot. Using an immersion blender, blend together well.
- Add coconut milk and blend again.
- Garnish with croutons, sprouts, or another dash of coconut milk.
- Enjoy!
This recipe goes great with garlic bread or toasted baguettes topped with olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs, and feta.
