Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If desired, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- On the baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until lightly and evenly coated in oil. Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake until the cauliflower is tender and caramelized on the edges, 25 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway.
- Once the cauliflower is almost done, in a Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and turning translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the broth.
- Reserve 4 of the prettiest roasted cauliflower florets for garnish. Then transfer the remaining cauliflower to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, to give the flavors time to meld.
- Once the soup is done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender, working in batches if necessary. (Do not fill past the maximum fill line or the soup could overflow!)
- Add the butter and blend until smooth. Add the lemon juice and nutmeg and blend again. Add additional salt, to taste (I usually add another 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon, depending on the broth). This soup tastes amazing once it's properly salted! You can also a little more lemon juice, if it needs more zing. Blend again.
- Top individual bowls of soup with 1 roasted cauliflower floret and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, green onion and/or chives. This soup keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about four days, or for several months in the freezer.

Steps:
- In a large pot, fry the bacon pieces over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and set aside. Pour off the grease and return the pot to the stove.
- Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with the Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until the cauliflower starts turning golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture slightly, or all the way if you prefer. (Or use a regular blender; just don't fill too full.)
- In a separate saucepan or skillet, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a paste. Pour in the milk, then continue cooking until it thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the half-and-half.
- Pour the white sauce into the soup. Turn the heat to medium high and bring back to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stirring in the cheese and sour cream until the cheese is fully melted. Stir in the parsley.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve with a little extra cheese, a sprinkle of bacon and a sprinkle of parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower. A head of cauliflower that is about 2 pounds will yield enough florets for the soup. Look for a head that is firm and white, with no brown spots.
- Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup. Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor. To roast the cauliflower, toss the florets with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan. If you are using a pre-shredded cheese, make sure it is labeled "for melting." Otherwise, the cheese may not melt smoothly into the soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the cashews. If you overcrowd the pan, the cashews will steam instead of roast. Spread the cashews in a single layer on the baking sheet so that they can roast evenly.
- Serve the soup immediately. Cheesy cauliflower soup is best served hot. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until it is warmed through.
Conclusion:
Cheesy cauliflower soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The roasted cauliflower and cashews add a delicious flavor and texture to the soup. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
