Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 carrots
2 sticks celery
2 medium onions
2 garlic cloves
800 g cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
200 g cheddar cheese
2 vegetable bouillon cubes (or chicken)
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon English mustard
nutmeg (optional)
1 7/8 liters water, boiling

Steps:

  • Peel and roughly chop the carrots.
  • Slice the celery.
  • Peel and roughly chop the onions.
  • Peel and slice the garlic.
  • Cut the cauliflower into 1.5cm slices.
  • Put a large pan on medium heat and add 2tb olive oil.
  • Add all your chopped and sliced ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon.
  • Cook for around 10 minutes with the lid askew, until the carrots have softened but are still holding their shape, and the onion is lightly golden.
  • Grate the cheddar into a bowl and put to one side for later.
  • Put the stock cubes into a jug or pan and pour in 1.8 litres of boiling water from the kettle.
  • Stir until the stock cubes are dissolved, then add the vegetables.
  • Give the soup a good stir and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add the cheese and mustard.
  • Using a hand blender or liquidizer, pulse the soup until silky smooth.
  • Divide between your serving bowls and grate over some nutmeg, if you like.
  • If you want to dress it up a bit, top it with some lightly fried crispy bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is dense and compact, with no brown spots or blemishes. A heavy head of cauliflower will yield more soup.
  • Roast the cauliflower before cooking: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelization. This will give your soup a richer flavor.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a stock that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Cauliflower soup is best when it is slightly chunky. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make your soup look and taste more appealing. A few chopped chives, parsley, or croutons are all good options.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it is also a good option for people who are on a low-carb or gluten-free diet. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of cauliflower soup that the whole family will enjoy.
