This roasted cauliflower and mushroom soup is such a great soup to make during winter. It is rich, creamy, flavorful and delicious. This soup is made using roasted cauliflower, which adds such a nice and lovely warmer feeling to it then when using raw cauliflower. The fried mushrooms adds both a caramelized and umami taste to the soup, not to mention the lovely texture it adds to the soup. This soup is really such a great dish to make both for weekday meals and cozy weekend dinners. I seasoned this soup with yellow onion, garlic, cumin, natural yeas, garlic powder and fresh thyme. The combination of the roasted cauliflower, fried mushrooms and all the spices makes it rich, creamy and so tasty. But since I only used water and plant based milk it doesn’t feel to heavy or thick. If you prefer your soup a bit heavier or creamier you can sub the milk for cream. But either way this soup is really creamy and don’t feel watery. I garnished my soup with fried button mushrooms and cherry tomatoes and fresh thyme. I like to keep some chunks in my soup, just to give it some more texture. But you can mix your soup as smooth as you like.
A few tips:
- Use a mix of mushrooms. This will make it more versatile since all mushrooms add different taste and textures.
- Roast the cauliflower until golden brown in the oven before adding it to the pot. This will add a nice roasted taste to the soup.
- Make sure to let the mushrooms fry until they have caramelized and are golden brown. This will add so much taste to the soup. So don’t make a short cut by frying them too short.
- You can adapt the spices according to taste.
- The fresh thyme can be substituted by dry, but it will affect the taste slightly.
- This soup can be divided into portion sizes and frozen for later. It’s great to take out of the freezer and let it thaw over night.
