A velvety smooth soup made with roasted cauliflower, tender leeks, and finished with Jersey cream. Comfort in a bowl for November lunches.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, melt the Jersey butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sliced leeks and chopped onion. Cook for 8-10 minutes until very soft.
Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves, cook for another minute.
Add the roasted cauliflower to the pan along with the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the thyme sprigs and blend the soup until completely smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
Stir in the Jersey cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot with crusty bread and an extra drizzle of cream.
