Prepare the Cauliflower:
Start by cutting the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets. Submerge the florets in water to ensure any hidden dirt or insects are removed. Once soaked, rinse them thoroughly and drain well. Set the cauliflower aside. -
Roast the Cauliflower:
Heat a shallow frying pan over medium heat and add a little sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot, add the cauliflower florets and sauté them, stirring occasionally. Cook the florets until they are golden brown and slightly charred. You can sprinkle a pinch of salt during the cooking process to enhance the flavor. -
Blend the Cauliflower:
Once the cauliflower is roasted to perfection, set it aside to cool for a few minutes. Then, using a hand blender or a stand blender, blend the cauliflower and milk together until you have a smooth, creamy paste. -
Cook the Soup:
Transfer the blended cauliflower paste into a saucepan. To achieve the desired soup consistency, add either water or additional milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. -
Season the Soup:
Add the dill leaves to the simmering soup. Stir well, and taste the soup for seasoning. Adjust the salt and add freshly ground black pepper to taste. -
Garnish and Serve:
Pour the hot soup into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of toasted walnuts and a drizzle of olive oil to add richness. Serve this comforting Roasted Cauliflower Dill Soup with your favorite breakfast dishes, such as a slice of toasted bread or a side of scrambled eggs.
This simple yet elegant soup is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet while enjoying the rich flavors of roasted cauliflower and fresh dill. The toasted walnuts add a delightful crunch, making each spoonful even more satisfying.
