Ingredients

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 cups packed fresh spinach

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a shallow baking pan with foil.

Step 2
Arrange cauliflower, broccoli, onion, and garlic in a single layer on the prepared pan. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat.

Step 3
Roast in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.

Step 4
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Add broth, roasted vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes, adding spinach during the last 4 minutes to wilt. Cool slightly; puree in a blender or with an immersion blender. Serve hot. Or chill, covered, up to 3 days, and reheat for another use.

Cook’s Note:

You can use 1/2 teaspoon any dried herb, or 1 teaspoon any fresh herb.
