Cauliflower and Oats Soup

Ingredients

 150 g carrot
 80 g parsnip
 500 g cauliflower
 50 g leek
 100 g onion
 50 g celery
 20 g garlic
 5 g fresh dill leaves
 5 g fresh parsley
 2 l vegetable stock
 200 g quick-cook or regular oats (not instant)
 5 g each - salt and pepper
 olive oil (to mix on vegetables and saute garlic)
 100 g cream

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375F.

2

Wash and dice carrot, parsnip, leek, celery, onion and cauliflower into small pieces.

3

Mix all the cut vegetables with salt, pepper and olive oil to coat. Spread them on a sheet pan and roast in preheated oven until light brown (app. 20-25 min).

4

Heat a bit of olive oil in a soup pot and saute the crushed garlic lightly. Add the roasted vegetables and stock and bring to a boil.

5

Add oats and cook until vegetables are soft (app. 20-30 minutes).

6

Add cream and blend until smooth (it's easiest to use an immersion blender, but you can use a regular blender with care - the soup will be hot!).

7

Adjust the seasoning to taste. Add chopped dill and parsley to garnish. Enjoy!
