Directions:Preheat oven to 425º. Lightly oil baking sheet. Cut head of garlic about ¼-inch to expose tops of garlic cloves. Place garlic head, cut side up, in a sheet of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Fold up all 4 sides of foil and cover tightly.
Place cauliflower in a single layer onto the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Place garlic onto the baking sheet.
Place in oven and roast until cauliflower and garlic are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool before squeezing garlic cloves from skin.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in large stockpot. Add onion and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in vegetable stock, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Stir in cauliflower and garlic. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until cauliflower is tender and falling apart, an additional 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until desired consistency is reached.
Stir in heavy cream; season with salt and pepper. If soup is too thick, add more vegetable stock. |
