Ingredients

• Crispy Cauliflower Topping:
• 2 cups small cauliflower florets
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Soup:
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tsp ground sumac
• 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into medium florets
• 1 small Yukon Gold potato, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup tahini paste
• 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped

Directions

1. Prepare topping: Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On baking sheet, toss small cauliflower florets with oil then spread in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until tender and crispy, about 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, prepare soup: In a large pot on medium, heat olive oil. Add onion and saute until softened and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, sumac, paprika and cayenne and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant, stirring occasionally.

3. Add medium cauliflower florets, potato, broth and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until potatoes and cauliflower are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in tahini and lemon juice and simmer for 2-3 minutes more.

4. Using an immersion blender, puree soup. Season with additional salt as needed. Divide soup among bowls, then top with dill and crispy cauliflower topping.
