Instructions
-
Prepare the Cauliflower: Start by cutting the cauliflower into small florets. Rinse them thoroughly and set them aside.
-
-
Roast the Cauliflower: Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and season with a pinch of salt. Cook the cauliflower, stirring occasionally, until the florets are lightly browned and tender (about 10–12 minutes). This roasting process will bring out a deep, savory flavor in the cauliflower.
-
Cool the Cauliflower: Once the cauliflower is cooked and browned, remove it from the pan and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
-
Blend into a Paste: After the cauliflower has cooled, transfer it to a blender. Blend until smooth, creating a creamy paste. If needed, add a little water to achieve a smoother consistency.
-
Simmer the Soup: Pour the cauliflower paste into a saucepan. Add 4 tablespoons of milk (or water for a lighter version) and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add Dill: Once the soup has simmered, add the fresh dill leaves. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve: Pour the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with freshly roasted walnuts and a drizzle of olive oil for added richness and crunch.
