Why This Works

The Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil infuses the soup with rich, roasted garlic notes without the bitterness raw garlic can sometimes bring. By using it twice — first for roasting and again as a finishing oil — you create layers of flavor that elevate a simple cauliflower soup into a restaurant-worthy dish.
