Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler to high. Wash and slice the sweet red peppers in half, removing the seeds. Place them skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil the peppers for about 5 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.
- Once roasted, transfer the blistered peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow them to steam for 20 minutes.
- While the peppers are steaming, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the cauliflower into florets, then toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Spread the florets on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden and soft. Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, and paprika, cooking for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for about a minute. Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken stock, stirring continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Peel the skins from the roasted peppers. Add the roasted cauliflower florets and chopped peppers into the stockpot. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until completely smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup of milk, seasoning with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Heat gently until warmed through, but do not let it boil.
