Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare the cauliflower by trimming leaves and cutting into florets.
  2. Spread florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 45 minutes, turning halfway.
  3. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion for about 7 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add garlic, cumin, paprika, sumac, and turmeric. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in three-quarters of the roasted cauliflower.
  6. Pour in vegetable broth and water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Blend the soup until smooth, leaving some texture if desired.
  8. Return to low heat, add milk, and remaining cauliflower. Adjust seasoning.
  9. Stir in lemon juice and dill just before serving.
