- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 large shallots, halved lengthwise
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, warmed
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- fresh rosemary, chopped (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, toss cauliflower florets, shallots, and garlic with olive oil until evenly coated in oil.
Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned, around 30 minutes, tossing halfway.
Reserve ½ cup of the roasted cauliflower florets for garnish. Working in batches, combine the cauliflower/shallots/garlic mixture, warm broth, melted butter, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
Process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with the reserved cauliflower florets and fresh rosemary.
Storage: Place soup in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
