I just love creamy soups. The only problem with them is that they are usually laden with cream and milk. Since I usually have soup at night, I definitely don't want to go to bed feeling heavy and bloated. In swoops this amazing roasted cauliflower soup recipe which gives you the same flavour without the heaviness in your stomach.

Roasting the cauliflower just gives it a lovey toasted flavour and blended cauliflower makes for a creamy base. Take the time to make sure that it is blended really smooth. I love using an immersion blender because it is so easy and you don't need to transfer it into another piece of equipment but even a normal blender works just as well.

Butter rounds the whole thing off and the best part is that you need to use so little and it is totally optional. The lemon juice and nutmeg/cinnamon really adds that little something which totally changes the flavour profile but it is so subtle that nobody will be able to tell what ingredients you have used.

I always garnish it with something fresh like spring onion or parsley to add a pop of colour. There is nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of soup!
