Serves 8, cooking time 30 minutes
Can be made in advance and reheated on the stove
Ingredients
750g cauliflower – trimmed, cut into florets
1 brown onion – finely chopped
2 garlic cloves – finely chopped
1 C grated cheddar or tasty cheese
2 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
water
¼ cup cream
Directions
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté 5 minutes or until softened. Add cauliflower, stock and enough water to just cover the cauliflower. Cover and bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes or until cauliflower is tender. Take off the heat.
Using a bar mix, blend the soup until smooth. Add the cheese and cream, mix to combine. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Serve with crusty bread.
This is a goody too. I’ve also tried it with broccoli as well as the cauliflower, which gives a nice green tinge to the finished soup.
