Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut cauliflower and potato into 2 inch florets. Toss them with little salt , pepper and oil and arrange them in the aluminum foil in single layer and bake for about 20- 25 mins until it is golden brown.

Mean while heat a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot and saute the onions and garlic in olive oil. Add the vegetable stock , milk and bring to boil. Add the caulflower , potato mixture and basil leaves. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 – 15 mins.Use the immersion blender and puree the soup , add the remaining salt and required pepper and remove from heat.
