How to make roasted cauliflower soup?

1.Roast carrot, garlic, and onion: No need to peel the onions and the garlic. Wrap them in aluminum foil and pop them in the oven while the cauliflowers roast. Upon roasting, the garlic, onion, and carrot will be soft to the touch but very hot at first! Reserve a few florets for serving as a topping. Roasted garlic provides more depth to the soup and is so very delicious.

2. Separate cauliflower florets: Use your hands and a knife to separate the florets and remove the stalk.

3. Roast cauliflower: Place cauliflower florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Form a single layer to facilitate uniform cooking. Drizzle with a bit of oil. To ensure all florets are coated with oil, mix them and add more oil as needed.

4. Blend all ingredients: Use a hand or stand mixer and add all ingredients ( cauliflowers, peeled onion, garlic cloves, carrot, turmeric, and water. Add 3 cups of water and more to achieve the desired texture.
