Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Basil and Lemon

Pane-bistecca

I found this recipe for roasted cauliflower soup with basil and lemon in the July Magazine of Kochen and cooked it up.

This soup tastes wonderful and is unusual because you can really taste the lemon as well as the cauliflower. I didn’t add any cream, I just wanted to let the cauliflower work its magic. The soup is a very tasty dish and I served it at my birthday party.
