What to Serve with Vegan Cauliflower Soup?
Pondering over what to serve with cauliflower soup? This soup is a complete meal on its own. However, accompanying it with cornbread biscuits, garlic bread, baked potatoes, or a fresh salad can elevate your dining experience. You might also want to try other delightful options if you’re exploring vegan soup. Consider broccoli soup, butternut squash, lentil, kale, or a classic tomato basil soup. Each of these soups offers unique flavors bound to complement your culinary repertoire.
Storage Tips
Like most veggie soups, roasted cauliflower soup is perfect for batch cooking. The refrigerator works great if you consume it within a few days. Simply transfer the soup to an airtight container and store it in the fridge.
For longer storage, an airtight container in the freezer is ideal. When you’re in the mood for some comforting soup, simply reheat it on the stove for a quick and delightful meal.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the cauliflower florets, chopped parsnips, onion, and garlic on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
In a medium-sized Dutch oven or stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Toast the cumin seeds for about one minute until fragrant.
Add the salt, white pepper, and curcumin. Stir well.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to the pot and mix well.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. This will ensure safe blending.
In batches, blend the soup until smooth. Be cautious not to over-blend.
Final Touch:
Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the cashew cream.
Warm over low heat if necessary, then serve and enjoy!
