Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and tender.
  3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the dried Italian seasoning and balsamic vinegar for an additional minute.
  4. Add the cut Yukon Gold potatoes and enough vegetable broth to cover them completely. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once roasted, add the cauliflower and garlic to the pot. Stir and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches if necessary.
  7. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Serve warm, optionally drizzling with olive oil.
