Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower and Potato Soup

Published on October 8, 2014 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Last Friday, Brian and I were picking up our vegetables at the farm, like we do.  As we pondered our options (aloud, no doubt to the pleasure of the other people in attendance), I suggested that I could make potato soup this week.  Our CSA manager piped in with “Know what’s really good?  Roasted Romanesco and Potato Soup”.  So we grabbed some potatoes and a Romanesco cauliflower and tonight, I turned it into soup.

If you can’t find Romanesco cauliflower, regular cauliflower or broccoli will work in this recipe just as well.  But when it’s available at our CSA, I always get it because it’s just too cool looking not too.

And our CSA manager was right, the soup was really good.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Total Time 40 mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 small head Romanesco cauliflower
  • olive oil
  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Chop the potatoes (I left the peel on) and Romanesco cauliflower into roughly 1 inch pieces.
  • Toss them lightly in olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is slightly browned on the edges and a fork can be easily inserted into the potatoes
  • After the potatoes and cauliflower are cooked, add them to a soup pot along with the vegetable broth and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree about half of the soup (more or less, to taste). Stir in the heavy cream.
  • Enjoy!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
