Ina Garten Cauliflower Soup Recipe

Ina Garten's cauliflower soup is just, well...wow!
The combination of tender cauliflower, aromatic vegetables, and a velvety broth gets me every time!
To get it right, roast the cauliflower before adding it to the pot for an extra layer of flavor that really shines through.
Oh and I always recommend using an immersion blender to achieve a smooth and silky texture.
