  2. Roast in a preheated 425F/220C oven until the cauliflower is tender and lightly golden brown to a little charred, about 20-30 minutes, mixing the cauliflower half way through.
  3. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the onion and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. add the thyme and cook until fragrant, about a minute. add the broth, roasted cauliflower and garlic, squeezed from the skins, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes before pureeing with a stick blender, in a blender or in a food processor.
  5. Mix in the miso and asiago and heat until the cheese melts into the soup, about a minute, before adding the lemon juice.
Crunchy topping:
  1. Heat the quinoa in a pan over medium heat until the quinoa starts popping, and then slows down until there is more than a second between pops, mixing continuously to prevent burning.
  2. Mix in the breadcrumbs, seeds, asiago and toast for a minute or two. Mix in the lemon zest and parsley before serving as garnish on the soup.
  3. Enjoy!
