CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL



Creamy Cauliflower Soup With Rosemary Olive Oil image

This soup turns a short list of vegan ingredients into a sublimely silky soup. Infusing olive oil with fresh rosemary is a trick you'll want to keep up your sleeve: The results are delicious brushed on roast chicken, drizzled over roasted winter vegetables or even just sopped up with a nice piece of bread. The croutons here are optional, but they transform an elegant and delicate first-course soup into a satisfying lunch.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, soups and stews, vegetables, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup olive oil
4 (4-inch) sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 quart low-sodium vegetable stock, plus more as needed for reheating
1 medium head cauliflower, cored and broken into 1 1/2-inch florets (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon, for serving
3 cups diced rustic country bread (3/4-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Make the rosemary oil: In a medium skillet, combine the olive oil and rosemary sprigs. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, lowering the heat if the oil reaches a full simmer. (You want to cook it at a very gentle simmer to avoid frying the rosemary.) Carefully pour the oil and rosemary into a small bowl, leaving a slick of oil in the pan if you plan to make croutons. Allow the rosemary to cool completely in the oil while you make the soup.
  • Make the soup: In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (Be careful not to let the garlic scorch!)
  • Add the stock, cauliflower, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the optional croutons: Heat the reserved skillet with the residual rosemary oil over medium. Add the bread cubes, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing often, until toasted all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the croutons to a plate or board to cool.
  • Strain and discard the rosemary stems from the rosemary oil. Working in batches if necessary, carefully transfer the vegetables, stock and 1/4 cup rosemary oil to a blender and blend on high until creamy. Add more rosemary oil to taste, and blend to combine. Return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer. If the soup seems thin, let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce slightly. (Remember: The soup will continue to thicken as it cools.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot. Garnish each serving with a swirl of rosemary oil, a few croutons, and a sprinkle of lemon zest. The soup will thicken as it sits; add more stock as necessary when reheating. Leftover rosemary oil will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER WITH GINGER SOUP



Creamy Cauliflower With Ginger Soup image

A pureed vegetable soup can be an impressive, easy and affordable first course for an elegant dinner, or even a light dinner on its own with salad and bread.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Cauliflower

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small head cauliflower, cut into large florets
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
⅛ teaspoon saffron threads
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: 1 seared sea scallop for each bowl of soup*

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add cauliflower, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add ginger, turmeric, saffron and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

My boss brought this soup to the office one fine day and I was hooked on it from the first taste. It is a snap to make and the flavors are mild, yet very distinct. My kids loved it the first time I made it at home and it instantly became known as 'Tim Perry's Soup.' You might like a stronger curry flavour or a creamier soup, so adjust the seasonings to your taste. It's ready within the hour, but the longer it simmers the better the flavor.

Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup image

For a simple, impressive, and downright delicious soup, you just can't go past this creamy cauliflower blend. I never tell people what is in it, cause it is so much fun listening to all of the creative guesses. Parsnip? Cream? Onion? What exactly makes this soup taste so good? The cashews! Just make sure you puree the nuts really well in a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix in order to achieve the most creamy, airy consistency. This soup stands alone as a fantastic family dinner with a grain ball or a piece of bread on a cold Winter's night. Give this soup an opening night at your kitchen - and let this cauliflower bloom! This soup is so easy, and absolutely phenomenal! Not to be missed.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 cups of strong vegetable broth
1 garlic, roasted (whole)
2 -3 leeks, the white part only washed and chopped
1 large head cauliflower, chopped
1/4 cup raw cashews
4 tablespoons chives, chopped finely (to garnish)
organic brown rice, quinoa or millet, to serve

Steps:

  • Place the whole head of garlic unpeeled in an oven at 200 C / 400 F for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large saucepan fry the leek in a little olive oil until soft. (About 3 minutes).
  • Add in the cauliflower and stir for a couple of minutes until well coated.
  • Squeeze in the roasted garlic pulp.
  • Cover with the vegetable broth. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a medium flame, and simmer partially covered for about 30 minutes until the cauliflower is soft. I like to stir frequently and mash the cauliflower with the spoon as it cooks to make it easier to blend.
  • Let the mixture cool enough to put batches in the blender, and puree with the cashews until smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer to a clean pot and heat on low to serve. Season with Celtic salt to taste.
  • To serve - top each bowl with a grain ball and a generous sprinkle of chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor, choose a cauliflower head that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Prep the cauliflower properly: Before cooking, remove the tough outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to do this.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower is best when it is cooked until tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what gives this soup its creamy texture and delicious flavor. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cauliflower soup include croutons, bacon bits, chopped green onions, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Creamy cauliflower soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and variety of toppings, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
