Steps:
- Place the whole head of garlic unpeeled in an oven at 200 C / 400 F for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large saucepan fry the leek in a little olive oil until soft. (About 3 minutes).
- Add in the cauliflower and stir for a couple of minutes until well coated.
- Squeeze in the roasted garlic pulp.
- Cover with the vegetable broth. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a medium flame, and simmer partially covered for about 30 minutes until the cauliflower is soft. I like to stir frequently and mash the cauliflower with the spoon as it cooks to make it easier to blend.
- Let the mixture cool enough to put batches in the blender, and puree with the cashews until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer to a clean pot and heat on low to serve. Season with Celtic salt to taste.
- To serve - top each bowl with a grain ball and a generous sprinkle of chives.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a large, firm head of cauliflower with tightly packed florets. A good cauliflower will have a bright white or ivory color, and no signs of bruising or wilting.
- Roast the cauliflower before making the soup: Roasting the cauliflower intensifies its flavor and gives it a slightly caramelized texture. If you don't have time to roast the cauliflower, you can steam or boil it instead, but roasting is the preferred method.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with organic vegetables.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy and bland.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for creamy vegan cauliflower soup include croutons, roasted vegetables, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil.
