Ingredients:

about 2 cups chopped cauliflower

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar, at the end (especially if you made yours too spicy like I did).

2 cloves of garlic

2-3 leeks, white and very light green parts, chopped (about 1 to 1.5 cups)

tablespoon of lemon

leaves from 3 sprigs of marjoram or thyme

1.5 teaspoons miso paste (or just salt if you don't have any)

2 tablespoons more olive oil (to blend into the soup)

olive oil, for drizzling

1/2 cup raw, unsalted, un-roasted cashews, soaked overnight* (see note)

3 more pinches of salt

1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (or more to taste)

3 cups of water

Equipment:

oven

baking sheet

blender

sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread cauliflower, leeks and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt & pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove when everything is starting to turn golden, but before the leeks are burning (if a few get too charred, it's ok, just pick them out later).Add to your blender (a Vitamix ideally), the veggies you just roasted, drained cashews, marjoram leaves, miso paste, a squeeze of lemon and half the water (1.5 cups). Blend until pureed. Add olive oil, paprika, and the rest of the water. Blend again. Taste and adjust seasonings.Pour into a medium saucepan and heat just until it's warm.
