Since I'm going to have a wealth of stock this week, I just may try
this. I subscribe to Dr. Ben Kim's weekly e-mail Newsletter and he
often posts some really decent and healthy recipes. I thought I'd share
this one this week as it sounds especially good, as well as being
inexpensive. <g> I'll skip the spuds tho' and I'd for sure use the
Shallots rather than the onion for flavor. I may even use both:

Roasted Cauliflower Soup Recipe
By Dr. Ben Kim on October 10, 2008

Healthy Soups

This roasted cauliflower soup is surprisingly rich in vitamin C. It's
also rich in indole-3-carbinole, a phytonutrient that can stimulate
cellular detoxification.

Indole-3-carbinole's ability to prevent estrogen dominance is what makes
cauliflower - naturally rich in indole-3-carbinole - an excellent food
choice for cancer prevention, particularly breast cancer prevention.

Enjoy this delicious and nutrient-rich roasted cauliflower soup recipe.

Ingredients:

2 heads cauliflower
2 Yukon gold potatoes, roughly chopped into bite-size pieces
3 garlic cloves
2 shallots (or one large onion)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cups vegetable broth or organic chicken broth
1 cup water
Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Cut cauliflower into 1-inch flowerets (about 10 cups). In a large baking
pan toss cauliflower, potatoes, garlic, and shallots with olive oil and
roast in oven for about 25-35 minutes, or until golden.

In a large pot, simmer broth, water, roasted cauliflower and potato
mixture for 20 minutes, or until cauliflower is very tender. Use your
blender to puree soup in batches until smooth and return to pot. Add sea
salt and pepper to taste. Heat soup over low to medium heat until just
heated through.

(Posters note: I'd use a hand blender for ease. I have to wonder if
the Author knows about them?)

Makes approximately 10 cups.

Optional: sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley on top of each bowl for
presentation just before serving.

(Celery leaf might work too for those that like it).
