Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C and cover a baking sheet or two with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place on a baking sheet with the poblano peppers, oil, salt and pepper and toss.
  3. Roast for 15 minutes and then rotate the pan and use a spatula to stir the veggies.
  4. Roast for another 15 minutes and then remove from the oven.
  5. While the cauliflower is roasting heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat and sauté the onions and garlic for approximately 3 – 5 minutes. Add the salt and oregano half-way through cooking. Set aside.
  6. Combine all of the pesto ingredients in food processor or blender. Blend until mixture is thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  7. When the cauliflower is roasted, add it to a blender with the sautéed onions and garlic. Add 2½ cups of bone broth or stock and blend until smooth. You may need to work in batches.
  8. Put the mixture back in the soup pot and let it simmer for another 10 – 15 minutes. If the mixture is too thick add about ½ – 1 cup of bone broth or stock until you get the consistency you are looking for.
  9. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly subject to the type of stock you use.
  10. Serve with a scoop of cilantro pesto.

Enjoy!
