Roasted Cauliflower, Caramelised Onion and Potato Soup

Truly one of the most versatile vegetables; cauliflower can be made into mash, rice, salad, ‘steaks’, and added to pretty much anything thanks to its versatile flavour and perfect texture. But purists out there will agree with me; cauliflower in soup is the bee’s knees.
