cauliflower soup

DSC03783

Cauliflower soup is a wonderfully moreish and filling winter soup. To give you an idea of how much cauliflower it requires, I bought a large head of cauliflower for this soup, but only needed about half. This was our Sunday night easy dinner (I made the soup the night before while the roast chook was cooking), eaten with buttered bread rolls.

Ingredients

1 onion, diced

1 clove of garlic, crushed

500g cauliflower, cut into florets

1 potato, diced

1 cup of chicken or vegetable stock

1 cup milk

1 1/4 cup of cream

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

salt and white pepper to taste

Method

  1. Heat some oil in a large saucepan on medium heat and cook onion until soft but not brown. Add garlic and cook for a further minute or two.
  2. Add the cauliflower, potato, stock and milk. Bring to the boil and simmer, covered for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
  3. Blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream, mustard, lemon juice and season to taste. Reheat gently and serve.

    The lemon juice doesn’t make the cream curdle?

  2. Maureen says:

    Your recipe is almost exactly like the one I use, except for thr mustard, I,ll try adding it next time.

    @ Kristen – hi, I don’t have a problem with the cream curdling

    @Maureen – hi, I think the original recipe I looked at had horseradish cream, I put way too much mustard in – more than 1 Tbsp, it was more like mustard soup, but it was nice anyway.
