Step 1
1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2
2. Build Flavor Base: Add cauliflower florets, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring to coat the cauliflower in the herb mixture.
Step 3
3. Simmer Soup: Pour in vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes until cauliflower is fork-tender.
Step 4
4. Blend Soup: Remove bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth (or carefully transfer to a countertop blender in batches).
Step 5
5. Season: Stir in lemon juice, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 6
6. Serve: Ladle into bowls. Top with feta, pine nuts, and herb sprigs. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with crusty bread.
Chef's Notes
For deeper flavor, roast cauliflower at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes before adding to the soup.
Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until golden for optimal nuttiness.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a crisp Greek salad or grilled chicken skewers. Ideal for chilly days or as a starter for Mediterranean feasts.
