Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.
- In a large pot on medium heat, add the roasted cauliflower and garlic, chopped tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
- Rinse and cook quinoa according to package instructions, usually about 15 minutes in boiling water. Optionally, sauté in olive oil until lightly crispy for extra crunch.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crispy quinoa and fresh herbs if desired. Serve with a slice of crusty bread.

Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients and adjust seasoning to your taste. Store crispy quinoa separately to maintain its crunch.
