Steps:

• Heat your oven to 425F. (400F if you're not using frozen cauliflower)
• Cut off the tops of the garlic bulb, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top, and wrap it up in tin foil. Roast in the oven for 40-60 minutes.
• At the same time, coat your frozen cauliflower with some olive oil and salt and roast for around 20-25 minutes. Reserve 4-6 roasted cauliflower if you'd like to garnish with one.
• When cool to touch, remove the garlic cloves from the skin and set aside.
• In a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, add in your butter, onion, and shallots and saute for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
• Add in the roasted garlic cloves, saute, and then add in the roasted cauliflower and vegetable stock. Salt to taste
• Stir and bring it to a boil before lowering the heat to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend the soup until it is smooth (I used my Vitamix). Be sure you don't overfill your blender and remove the centre cap from the lid of your blender and cover with a paper towel to allow the heat to escape while blending.
• Serve with some croutons and a roasted cauliflower floret as garnish if desire and enjoy immediately or pack into airtight containers to meal prep for the week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the cauliflower, garlic and 1/4 cup of olive oil to a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until the cauliflower is fork tender and lightly charred in places, about 25 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, potatoes, celery, onion and thyme. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have developed at the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth, Parmesan rind and roasted cauliflower and garlic. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and cover. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the cheese rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove the cheese rind and discard.
• In batches, carefully transfer the mixture to a high powered blender. Blend until completely smooth (see Cook's Note).
• Once all the soup is blended, add it back into the Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a pinch of pepper and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
