Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a pot, add the onions and crushed garlic. Stir fry for 5 minutes, then add salt, pepper, and cumin, plus the chopped cauliflower and cubed sweet potato. Cover with water and add bullion (may be a little more or less than 4 cups, but make sure the vegetables are just covered). Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down for 20 minutes. Puree half in the blender with the raw zucchini (I put it in the food processor but you can probably just blend it if it's pre-chopped) and add back in to the soup. Add more spices to taste.

Steps:
- Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
- Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
- Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
- You will love everything about this.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Use fresh, high-quality vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for cauliflower with tight florets, zucchini that is firm and not too large, and sweet potatoes that are smooth and free of blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, be sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of roast and will not have as much flavor.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender: The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables and gives them a slightly caramelized flavor. Roast the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is pureed, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the soup is flavorful and balanced.

This cauliflower soup with zucchini and sweet potato is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
