Cauliflower Soup
I am very aware that there is a serious lack of vegetables / salads / meat free / cheese free / carb free food on my blog. I always have good intentions of blogging more vegetable focussed things but I tend to get distracted by…well…you know. Anything but salads. So I always feel like giving myself a pat on the back when I post a meat-free-almost-dairy-free-cheese-free dish! I love this soup. There are wild storms hitting Sydney as I write up this post and I can’t think of a better soup to come home to. Plus, it’s effortless. No fine chopping and dicing. Just break off the florets of a cauliflower, roughly chop up the stalk along with a potato, onion and a few garlic cloves. Toss them into a pot with milk and stock/broth, then once tender, whizz with a handheld blender. It’s that easy! And LOOK how thick and creamy it is!
This recipe is practically a “formula”. It works with loads of vegetables – broccoli, carrots, parsnip, potato, beetroot (ever tried RED soup??!), peas, fennel, zucchini. Anything vegetable that softens when boiled so it can be whizzed to become a soup. I wasn’t really thinking about calories when I decided to post this. But when I ran the nutritional analysis, I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that it is a mere 190 calories per serving. I double checked it a few times to make sure it was right – and it is! So really, if you want to treat yourself, stir through a dollop or two of cream without guilt. 🙂 Hmmm…..so if I have this for dinner, it means I can have a brownie for dessert, right? Same logic behind having a Mars Bar with a Diet Coke….. – Nagi PS Aren’t my attempts at fancy restaurant swirls of cream and olive oil atrocious? 🙂
