ROASTED CAULIFLOWER & DILL SOUP
Found on tastespotting.com -- http://www.blue-kitchen.com/2008/11/19/a-big-warm-bowl-of-comfort-roasted-cauliflower-and-dill-soup/ ...The "I" referred to is not actually ME, I just cut and pasted the directions from that website! I used dried dill, didn't measure it... my measurements were very inaccurate, so I'm sure it would be a lot better if followed exactly. It was good, anyway. I used Pam instead of the olive oil, and chicken flavored consomme for the broth.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Using a knife and your hands, break cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and place in large bowl. Peel and slice carrots and add to bowl. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat. Spread into a single layer in a large roasting pan [or onto a large baking sheet with a rim] and season with pepper. DON'T add salt at this point; your broth will probably add plenty. Roast vegetables in the middle of the oven until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, for about 25 to 35 minutes [mine took the full 35]. Remove from oven and transfer back to the bowl you used earlier. The soup can be made a day ahead up to this point; cool vegetable slightly, then cover and refrigerate.
- If you're making it right away, peel and chop onion and garlic while the cauliflower mixture roasts. When it's ready, heat a large, heavy pot or dutch oven over a medium flame. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté onion until softened and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add cauliflower mixture to pot, along with broth and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low to let soup simmer 20 minutes or so.
- Toward the end of this time, carefully ladle out 3 cups of cauliflower and broth and purée it in a food processor or blender. Avoid puréeing carrots with the cauliflower and broth. I do this partly to maintain the soup's pale, creamy color and partly because you want the sweetness of the carrots to be isolated bites as you eat the soup, and not to add an overall sweet flavor to it.
- Return the purée to the soup pot and stir to blend. Remove from heat, stir in the fresh dill and adjust seasoning with salt. Serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat, and add onion; saute until just translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in cauliflower, beets, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until beets and cauliflower are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in dill. Let soup cool 10 minutes, then puree in batches until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to thin.
- Return soup to pot, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, and garnish with dill sprigs before serving. Soup can be refrigerated 1 day; let cool completely before refrigerating. Gently reheat before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size. The florets should be tightly packed and white or ivory in color.
- Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving the soup a richer flavor.
- Use a good 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 has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the cauliflower is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking the soup will make the cauliflower mushy.
- Garnish the soup with fresh dill: Fresh dill adds a bright, fresh flavor to the soup. You can also garnish the soup with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
This roasted cauliflower dill soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy cauliflower. It's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner and can be easily customized to your liking. Try adding different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. You can also add a protein source, such as chicken or tofu. No matter how you make it, this soup is sure to be a hit!
