Soups are delicious and makes for a satisfying dinner you can prepare for your family. This French-inspired creamy and rich cauliflower soup is made with milk and vegetable broth, enhanced with cream and seasoned with fresh thyme and grated nutmeg.
Ingredients:
30g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
600g cauliflower, broken into florets
450ml vegetable broth
350ml milk
1 bay leaf
1 thyme sprig
125ml single cream
Freshly grated nutmeg and white pepper
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and celery. Cook over a low heat until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Add the cauliflower, broth, milk, bay leaf and thyme and bring to the boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme, then puree the soup until smooth in a blender or food processor. Add the cream and a pinch of grated nutmeg and reheat the soup without boiling.
Serve seasoned with white pepper and few more pinches of grated nutmeg. Bon appétit!
