Creamy Cauliflower Soup

  1. Preheat oven to 425º.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets in oil, salt, and pepper to taste. On a foil-lined baking sheet, roast for 15-20 minutes, or until desired tenderness and golden edges.
  3. Remove cauliflower from oven and mash coarsely.
  4. In a pot over medium high heat melt butter and add diced onions, sautéing until softened and translucent but not browned.
  5. Add in flour and quickly whisk to evenly coat onions. Allow to cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add in warmed chicken broth and milk and heat over medium low heat until it reaches a low boil and begins to thicken slightly.
  6. Add cauliflower, heavy cream, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper to taste and stir to blend.
  7. Working a little at a time add shredded cheese to soup and stir until melted.
  8. Garnish with roasted cauliflower florets and pepitas and serve in a roasted acorn squash bowl (optional).
