Preheat oven to 375 F. Melt the butter then add the ground ginger, tumeric, cumin, cloves, salt, and pepper (as desired). Chop the cauliflower into medium sized florets and mix into the butter mixture. Put the cauliflower onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a good sized soup pot at medium heat, add the oil and chopped onion, fresh garlic and ginger, and some salt and pepper. Once the cauliflower is done and the onions are translucent add together. Here is where I decide if I want more spice, usually I add some more tumeric and cumin. Add the stock and bay leaves and bring to a gentle boil, then let simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour.
Next, you can leave the soup chunky, but I like to blend it a bit, if you have an emulsion blender you can use that or add half of the soup to a blender, blend and then add it back in. After I blend I like to let it simmer for another 10 minutes, then serve. Be sure to remove the bay leaves before blending. If it seems too thick you can add some milk or water, I prefer water, if you do add more liquid you'll want to simmer it for about 20 minutes longer.
Enjoy!

Well, I hope spring is here to stay! Today the sun is shining so bright! Rose and I are getting ready to go for a walk soon to the store to get some ingredients to make Roasted Cauliflower Soup! {will post recipe tonight?} I am having the best feeling about today, we woke up happy and ready to go. I can't wait to see my man after work tonight as well. I hope you all have a great day today too.

This week has been pretty nice, the weather has been decently warm so we've been enjoying many walks. I can't wait for it to be warm enough to go for hikes! Looking into buying a good carrier for Rose. I am skeptical of buying online because I like to try things like that on... any suggestions?
