Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 large head cauliflower
1/2 head broccoli
1 cup baby carrots
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons fresh basil
4 -6 cups low sodium chicken broth (or vegetable)
salt and pepper
Italian parsley (for topping)
shredded parmesan cheese (for topping) (optional)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cut cauliflower and broccoli into similarly sized florets. Place florets and carrots on baking sheet; spray lightly with cooking oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 30 minutes or until tender, turning halfway.
  • While vegetables are roasting, dice onion and chop garlic. Spray a saucepan with cooking oil, heat over low-medium heat, and add onion, garlic, oregano/thyme, and basil. Cover and cook until soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour 1 cup of the broth into the pan with the onion to deglaze the pan. Place the roasted vegetables, onion and herbs, and remaining broth in a blender and puree.
  • Return soup to saucepan and add salt and pepper to taste. Add extra broth if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  • Heat to desired level and serve in bowls with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and parmesan on top.
