Curried Cauliflower Soup

Posted in /Cooking/Soups on Sunday, March 11, 2018

Cauliflower has been expensive again this year, so when it went on sale I bought two! I needed to find something to new to do with at least one of the cauliflowers and I am always hungry for curry so this recipe tackled two jobs! I made some changes from the inspired recipe and from my first batch to bump up the flavour and highlight the curry.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 medium/large head of cauliflower, cut into medium sized florets
1/4 cup butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
2 carrots, thin diced
3-5 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
1 Tbsp cumin
Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
1 tsp sea salt
5 cups chicken or vegetarian stock
1 large red onion, sliced
1/4 cup butter
3 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a stock pot with 1/4 cup butter, saute the yellow onions, celery, carrots and garlic until onions are slightly translucent.

2. Once the onions and other veggies are cooked add in the spices and allow the spices to cook for a minute and absorb the extra butter.
3. Add in the cauliflower and toss to cover with spices.
4. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until cauliflower is soft and tender.
5. While the cauliflower is simmering, caramelize the red onion in a frying pan with 1/4 cup butter and olive oil. Stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized.
