CAULIFLOWER AND WALNUT CREAM SOUP

Cauliflower and Walnut Cream Soup image

My husband and I were divorced after 10 years of marriage. He claimed that he was fond of making soup, so I gave him a soup cookbook one Christmas. He never made any of them. Then we got married again. (Long story). So the soup cookbook is back, too!! I'm purging my cookbook collection but this recipe always sounded so...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower
1 medium onion
2 c chicken or veg. stock
2 c skim milk
3 Tbsp walnut pieces
salt and black pepper
paprika and chopped walnuts for garnish

Steps:

1. Trim cauliflower and break into florets. Put cauliflower, onion and stock into large saucepan.
2. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until soft.
3. Add milk and walnuts, whisk with immersion blender until smooth. (or use food processor)
4. Season to taste, heat, garnish and serve.
5. Variation: use 3 Tablespoons ground almonds instead of walnuts.

Tips:

Use a high-quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. You can use store-bought broth or make your own using vegetables, herbs, and spices.
Roast the cauliflower and walnuts before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and give the soup a more complex flavor profile.
Don't overcook the soup. The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or croutons.
