  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
    • kosher salt and ground pepper
    • 8 small cauliflower leaves (or 2 large leaves, coarsely chopped)
    • 1/4 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium pot, combine chicken broth and cauliflower; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until cauliflower is very tender, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, puree cauliflower until smooth (thin it with broth, if necessary).
  2. Meanwhile, on a small baking sheet toss cauliflower leaves with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Serve as garnish on soup.

Cook's Note

When shopping for cauliflower, sniff -- there should be no trace of that sulfuric, overcooked-cabbage smell. Heads should be heavy and tight. Store your cauliflower in the crisper in a plastic bag for up to a week.
