Ingredients

For the Roasted Cauliflower:

• 10 ounces cauliflower florets
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

For the Soup:

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
• 1 stick celery, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 cups, plus scant 1/4 cup vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup, plus 1 3/4 tablespoons non-dairy milk

• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• A splash of hot sauce or 1/2 teaspoon vinegar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Put the cauliflower in a bowl with the oil. Mix to be sure all the cauliflower is covered in oil and place in a baking tray. Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes until soft and slightly charred.
3. While the cauliflower is roasting, begin to prepare the rest of the ingredients.
4. In a frying pan, over a medium heat, add the oil and fry the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery with a pinch of salt for 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and caramelized.
5. Once the cauliflower has roasted, place into a processor or blender with the fried vegetable mixture and then add all of the other ingredients.
6. Blend until smooth and creamy and then pass through a sieve back into a saucepan and heat through. Taste for seasoning and serve.
