Orange Rosemary Cream Of Cauliflower Soup
- 1 whole Cauliflower
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Plus 1 Tablespoon For The Roasted Pepper Puree
- 1 whole Onion, Chopped
- 3 whole Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 4 cups Vegetable Or Chicken Broth
- 1 whole Clementine, Only The Peel
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
- 1 whole Pear (Anjou), Peeled And Chopped
- 1/2 cups Roasted Red Bell Peppers
- 3 Tablespoons Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
- Remove leaves and stem from cauliflower and cut into even pieces. Slice the cauliflower into roughly 1/2" slices, and then cut the slices crosswise into even pieces. Since the soup is going to pureed anyway, there's no need to cut the cauliflower into florets.
- In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until onions are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add broth, clementine peel, rosemary and cauliflower. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook on low, covered, for 20 minutes until cauliflower is soft.
- Remove from heat and add pear. Puree in batches in a blender until smooth. Return to soup pot and keep warm until ready to serve.
- To prepare Roasted Pepper Puree, place roasted peppers and remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor and process until smooth.
- To serve, ladle soup into bowls. Put a spoonful of Roasted Pepper Puree on top and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
- Serves 6-8.
