HUNGARIAN CAULIFLOWER AND CABBAGE SOUP
Get real Hungarian sweet (not hot) paprika for the best flavor. You can also puree all of the soup if you prefer that texture. The yogurt may look slightly curdled, but it will taste fine. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles. Exchanges: 1 1/2 vegetable, 1 fat.

I keep leftover ham bones in the freezer to make soup with. I love the smell of a ham bone simmering away waiting for the vegetables to come and join in.

Steps:
- 1. Put ham bone in a large Dutch oven and cover with water. Saute` onions, carrots and celery in olive oil. Add to ham bone and water along with a bay leaf. Simmer a couple of hours or until meat is falling off the bone.
- 2. Remove ham bone from pot and allow to cool. Meanwhile add the cauliflower to broth and simmer until tender.
- 3. Add the ham pieces back to broth. Make a slurry with milk and flour or cornstarch. Stir into simmering broth. Add milk and allow to thicken. Adjust seasonings.
- 4. Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley. If there isn't as much ham as you would like I buy a package of cubed ham and add just til it is just heated through as ham is already cooked.
Tips:
- Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a better flavor and texture than frozen cauliflower.
- Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth.
- Don't overcook the soup: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to it.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: The sour cream or yogurt adds a creamy richness to the soup.
Conclusion:
Hungarian cauliflower soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is made with roasted cauliflower, vegetable broth, onion, garlic, paprika, and cumin. It is typically served with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
