Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup

Several years ago, I shared a recipe for whole roasted cauliflower.   It is a spicy dish that  is a perfect side to most meals.  Today we’ll take a plain roasted cauliflower and make a delicious soup for cold winter days.  Roasting carmelizes the cauliflower to add depth to the flavor.  Sauté onions, celery, and carrot in olive oil.  Add garlic and broth.  You can use chicken broth or a vegetable broth for a meatless meal.  Cook, blend, and add whole milk.  A luscious bowl of curried cauliflower soup is ready to eat with garlic toast.  Adjust the spices for your family’s taste to make it stronger or milder. It’s even better the next day – try serving it over rice.
