CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II



Cream of Cauliflower Soup II image

I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup With Cardamom image

We recently discovered that we love cauliflower. Cardamom is a personal favorite too. :) This recipe can be served warm or cold and is from "The Bread & Circus Whole Foods Bible"!

Provided by Roosie

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 jalapeno, cored seeded and minced (you may keep the seeds if you want it to be hotter)
2 medium onions, diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1 large cauliflower, cored and chopped (about 2lbs)
4 cups vegetable stock or 4 cups chicken stock
1 cup milk or 1 cup soymilk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper, freshly ground
fresh chives, chopped, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot and add the garlic, jalapeno, onions, cardamom and mace.
  • Sautee until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cauliflower and stock and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce to a heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • Strain soup, seperating and reserving liquid and solids.
  • Puree the vegetables in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Return vegetable puree to the soup pot and add milk.
  • Add enough liquid to reach desired thickness.
  • Season with salt and pepper and gently reheat.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.
  • For Vegetarian use vegetable stock and for Vegan also use soy milk.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a more vibrant flavor and a better texture than frozen or canned cauliflower.
  • Roast the cauliflower before pureeing it: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, adding depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth: A good vegetable broth will add flavor and depth to the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooked soup will lose its fresh flavor and become mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a bit of tang.

Conclusion:

Cream of cauliflower soup with cardamom is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The soup is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. The cardamom adds a unique and flavorful twist to the soup. This soup can be served hot or cold, and it can be garnished with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, bacon, or roasted cauliflower.
