Roasted Cauliflower and Butternut Squash Soup

This time of year soups feature a lot on our table, the abundance of winter squash makes it easy. Soups are nourishing and comforting and perfect for cooler days. I had never roasted cauliflower, I was inspired after a recent trip to Charlottesville Virginia when we ate at a French restaurant we had a wonderful cauliflower soup and it had roasted cauliflower as a garnish. 

Ingredients:

• one cauliflower chopped
• 1/2 red onion chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic chopped
• one small butternut squash cut into cubes with the skin removed
• a knob of butter 
• a dash of balsamic vinegar
• a sprinkle of salt and pepper 
• a pinch of garam masala 

Method:

1. heat your oven to 400 degrees and bake the cauliflower and butternut squash with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper for about 15-20 minutes until soft. Keep a little cauliflower to one side to later use for garnish
2. meanwhile saute the onion and garlic in a pan with butter, add a little garam masala until soft 5-7 minutes 
3. add the roasted vegetables and about 2-3 cups of vegetable broth simmer for 5 minutes then blend
4. return to the stove for a few more minutes, season with salt and pepper to taste 
5. serve with roasted cauliflower as garnish.
6. enjoy
