This Friday is first day of lent andĀ it is considered a meatless day for us Catholics so my menu recommendationĀ for meatless Friday isĀ Roasted Cauliflower Soup inspired on my mom’s recipe for cauliflower in creamy bechamel sauceĀ but this recipe is non diary and vegetarian and with lot less calories than traditional bechamel sauce.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small head of fresh cauliflower cut in florets
- 1/4Ā teaspoon of paprika
- 1/4 of ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- Salt to taste
Preparation time: 30 minutes. Serves 6 cups of soup. You will need a roastingĀ pan, soup pot, measuring spoons and cups and a blender.

1.- Clean the cauliflower and cut in florets.
2.- Place the florets on a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil. Then sprinkle with paprika and black pepper.
3.- Roast the cauliflower for 5-7 minutes on high until getting a good roasting color.
4.- Add the roasted cauliflower florets to a soup pot and add the vegetableĀ broth. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
5.- When the cauliflower is tender mix with the broth in the blender until getting a creamy texture, season with salt.

You can serve this Roasted Cauliflower SoupĀ with a slice of toasted bread and parmesan cheese. Enjoy hot!
Cauliflower is now in season, this is a winter vegetable that many don’t like because of its pungent flavor and aroma but when cooked correctly it is delightful.

ThisĀ Roasted Cauliflower Soup is luscious and creamy and you can make it in less than 30 minutes. This recipe is also freezer friendly so you could double the recipe and freeze for enjoyment on another meal.
For many lent is giving up candy orĀ something for a period of time yet the Season of Lent includes acts ofĀ sacrifice but those have to beĀ intended toĀ lead us to a profound change of heart.

I’ve recently found I love cauliflower so this is great!
I could only wish you’d come over and make this for us!
I love cauliflower but my husband hates it. I would have to make myself my own little personal batch. This looks so good!
This looks delicious. I see so many recipes with cauliflower–yours, however, is probably the most unique. It looks delicious and it’s cold here so it would be perfect!
I love cauliflower!
