A rich and creamy soup that tastes great with the nutty flavor of roasted cauliflower and the salty goodness of pancetta.

Ingredients: 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets. 4 oz pancetta, diced. 1 onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 4 cups chicken broth. 1 cup heavy cream. 1 tsp thyme leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tbsp olive oil. Chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Add salt and pepper to the cauliflower florets and toss them with olive oil. For 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown, roast.

Serve the soup hot with chopped fresh parsley and crispy pancetta on top. Have fun with your tasty Roasted Cauliflower and Pancetta Soup!
