Instructions
For the Soup:
- Toss the cauliflower in the 2 tbsp garlic olive oil, salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Cut the top 1/4 off the heads of garlic, drizzle the 1 tsp oil on top, wrap in foil and place on the baking sheet along with the cauliflower.
- Roast in a preheated 425ºF oven until the cauliflower is tender and lightly golden brown to a little charred, about 20-30 minutes, mixing the cauliflower halfway through.
- Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the onion, and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the Italian Blend and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the broth, roasted cauliflower, and garlic, squeezed from the skins, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes before pureeing with a stick blender, in a blender or in a food processor.
- Add asiago and heat until the cheese melts into the soup, about a minute, before adding the lemon juice.
For the Crunchy Topping:
- Mix in the breadcrumbs, Everything Bagel Mix, and asiago, and toast for a minute or two, mixing.
- Mix in the lemon zest and parsley before serving as garnish on the soup.
