This is a very simple and quick recipe and a great way to use up one of our favourite vegetables. When we tried to get our daughter to taste the "cauliflower" recently she tried to sniff it, as if it were a flower. I thought this was very abstract of her! Unfortunately, she still refuses to eat any.
Cream of Cauliflower Soup:
1 1/2 tbs olive oil
2 brown onions, finely chopped
1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup full cream milk
1/4 cup cream
Melt butter and olive oil together. Add the onions and cook gently for 2 minutes (don't let them brown up). Add the cauliflowe and fry for a further couple of minutes.
Add the stock and milk and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender or with a stick blender. Return to the pot and add the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
We added some crusty garlic bread to satisfy our carb cravings.
yum. i recommend this with a really tart extra virgin olive oil, and throwing a handful of black olives into the blender with the mixture.
