I have had a bulb of fennel in my fridge since I cut the fronds off to make Gravlax. I have been trying to think of something to do with it for a while.
Also, I’ve been really craving soup. It’s all Melicious’s fault because I made her Sweet Potato Soup with Bacon… twice. And now all I can think about is creamy, thick, pureed veggie soups.
So I got this idea. I would roast it with some other stuff and puree it. You know… Just toss some stuff together and hope for the best. Honestly, the last time I tried that I got some curried broccoli soup that neither of us ate..
Because it sucked.
This time I decided to use an entire head of garlic.
This soup does not suck. In fact it’s pretty fucking awesome.
So awesome that I took a bazillion pictures so instead of just posting all the pics, I am giving you a video of all the pics. With music.. punk like music.. because this soup rocks that hard.
wow, thanks bunches! i may use potatoes instead of cauliflower, as that is what i have on hand . . .
I would imagine that would work just fine! Let me know how you like it
That soup looks so good. I’m not a big cauliflower fan, but this may convert me. Coincidentally, I’ve been trying new things lately, and celery root is on my list.
It’s such a melding of flavors that I hesitated to call it “cauliflower soup”. You’d probably be surprised at how little it tastes like cauliflower. The roasting really changes everything.
I actually have every one of these ingredients in the fridge right now. I know what I’m having for lunch!
It’s kismet! I hope you enjoy it!
