    A simple, flavourful and easy creamy soup made from caramelizing miso roasted cauliflower and mushrooms in the oven and then whizzing it in the blender. Babysitting the stove/oven not required. 🙂

    The holidays have come and gone and the new year is here - 2017 here we come!

    We celebrated the new year with a quiet evening with some much needed rest and downtime. The holidays are usually pretty hectic with all the cooking, baking, eating and socializing so it was heavenly to be able to shut our brains off before starting a new year.
    (Would you believe even Oscar & Wilbur were burnt out?) The little guys opted for huddling under blankets napping away rather than playing with their new toys.

    The robust flavours from this soup comes from roasting and caramelizing the vegetables and the creaminess naturally came from the cauliflower.

     

     

    INGREDIENTS

    For this cauliflower mushroom soup recipe, most of the ingredients are common and can be found at your local grocery store.

    If you are having troubles finding the miso paste, you can try to look for it at Asian grocery store.

    For this recipe, I used a red miso paste, since I prefer a stronger miso flavour but you can use any type miso paste for this recipe and it turns out just as tasty. If you are new to miso, I would try the lighter miso's first (white and yellow misos), they will have a milder flavour.

     

     

    ROASTING THE VEGGIES

    Toss all the ingredients with the miso, butter and a bit of oil before putting it into the oven.

    Tip #1 : Keep the garlic in the skins when you're roasting them. It prevents it from burning. Think of it as 'steaming' itself in its own skin! That way, you don't have to roast the entire bulb, just roast what you need.

    MAKING THE SOUP

    Once the veggies are done roasting, throw them all into a big pan and add some chicken stock to it. Don't forget to peel the garlic before putting it in the soup pot!

    Simmer it for 15 minutes and blend it with a blender and voila! Soup is ready!

    • Let the soup simmer and meld together for 15 minutes
    • Turn off the heat and use a hand blender or a food processor to blend the soup. (Be careful during this step, the soup is hot)

      The flavors in this soup sound so amazing. I don't think I've combined miso and cauliflower before. Such a great idea! And that roasted garlic is mouth-watering!

        Thanks so much! My thought process for that was to also have the miso be toasted with the soup to concentrate the flavours! 🙂 I'm so glad you like it!! Oh thanks for the kind words of my name and logo! 😀 haha I figured I spent all my time with the pups so why not just call it as it is! haha

      Hi! Do you have the amounts for each ingredient that you used?

        Hi Becky,

        Thanks for pointing this out! I didn't realize all the recipe cards have disappeared from my older posts. I have contacted support to have this issue corrected and will update you when the recipe cards (will will show you the ingredient amounts) are back up! 🙂

        In the meantime, the ingredient amounts are:
        1 cauliflower
        1 pack of mushrooms (sliced) (227g)
        3 cloves of garlic
        1 1/2 tbsp of miso paste
        3 tbsp of butter
        4 tbsp of oil (for coating the veg before baking)
        7 cups of chicken stock (or 8 if you prefer a less thick soup)
        1 medium onion (chopped)

        and they should be roasting in the oven at 400F (204C) for 20 minutes, then flip them at this mark and put them back in for another 30 minutes (for a total of 50 minutes).
        Check on it to make sure they are not too burnt since all ovens are a bit different 🙂 you want to see brown and caramelization but not black burnt 🙂
        Then when they are caramelized and done, put it all in a pot with the stock and then simmer it for 15 minutes before blending it into a smooth soup!
        Hope this helps!

      I thought this was going to be a lot harder when I saw the pictures. But after reading the recipe, this is really straight forward and looks delicious. Roasting the veggies first is really smart, since I'm sure it brings out a little caramelization. Thanks for sharing!

        Hi Alison!
        I've been doing that a lot lately, roasting veggies before do anything with them. I usually love my veggies crisp and raw but I love the extra flavour that caramelization brings out! I think I'll be doing that for all my soups! haha 🙂

      This looks sooo good and comforting!! Loved your little paragraph about "Don't Starve Together". It made me laugh. Your description of it really intrigued me and I don't even play video games! My fiance does though, so maybe I'll pass that along to him. He'll be shocked that *I* actually recommended a video game to *him". He'll play the game and I'll make this soup. Perfect! Thanks for sharing!
