     Title: Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Soup
Categories: Five, Soups, Vegetables
     Yield: 5 servings

 2 1/2 lb Cauliflower; in 1" florets,
          - leaves reserved
   1/4 c  Extra-virgin olive oil; more
          - for drizzling
          Salt & pepper
     1    Head garlic

 Set the oven @ 425oF/218oC.

 On a sheet pan, toss the cauliflower florets and leaves
 with the olive oil and season generously with salt and
 pepper. Cut off the top 1/4" of the head of garlic to
 expose the top of the cloves, then place on a piece of
 foil, cut side up. Sprinkle exposed cloves with salt,
 then drizzle lightly with oil. Wrap the garlic in the
 foil and place on the sheet pan. Roast until the
 cauliflower is browned and tender and the garlic is soft
 and fragrant, 30 to 35 minutes.

 Meanwhile, in a large pot or Dutch oven, bring 6 cups of
 water and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer over medium.
 Reserve about 1 cup cauliflower for the topping, then
 add the rest to the pot, including any browned bits on
 the sheet pan. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from
 their skins into the pot. Cover and simmer until the
 cauliflower is very soft, 7 to 10 minutes.

 Off the heat, using an immersion blender (or working in
 batches in a traditional blender), puree the soup until
 smooth. If thick, add water to taste. If thin, simmer,
 uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce slightly. (The
 soup will also thicken as it cools.) Season to taste
 with salt.

 Serve the soup topped with the reserved roasted
 cauliflower, a drizzle of olive oil and more black
 pepper.
