Keto Cauliflower Soup with Rosemary Oil
Keto Cauliflower Soup with Rosemary Oil
Geri TerryIngredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 head garlic
- 1- quart low-sodium vegetable stock plus more as needed for reheating
- 1 medium head cauliflower cored and broken into 1 1/2-inch florets (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 4-inch sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 cups Ketonia Baking Mix bread cubed or pulled apart (3/4-inch pieces)
Instructions
- Rub garlic head with olive oil and cover with foil. Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes, till caramelized. Set aside.
- How to make the rosemary oil: In a medium skillet, combine the olive oil and rosemary sprigs. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, lowering the heat if the oil reaches a full simmer (You want to cook it at a very gentle simmer to avoid frying the rosemary). Carefully pour the oil and the rosemary into a small bowl, leaving a slick of oil in the pan if you plan to make croutons. Allow the rosemary to cool completely in the oil while you make the soup.
- How to make the soup: In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent- about 6 to 8 minutes. Squeeze the head of garlic into the pan, breaking it up with a fork, and cook about 30 seconds.
- Add the stock, cauliflower, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the optional croutons: Heat the reserved skillet with the residual rosemary oil over medium. Add the bread cubes, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing often, until toasted all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the croutons to a plate or board to cool.
- Strain and discard the rosemary stems from the rosemary oil. Working in batches if necessary, carefully transfer the vegetables, stock, and 1/4 cup rosemary oil to a blender and blend on high until creamy. Add more rosemary oil to taste, and blend to combine. Return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer. If the soup seems thin, let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce slightly. (Remember: The soup will continue to thicken as it cools.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot. Garnish each serving with a swirl of rosemary oil, a few croutons, and a sprinkle of lemon zest. The soup will thicken as it sits; add more stock as necessary when reheating. Leftover rosemary oil will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
