This is a rich sweet way to eat your garden fresh tomatoes. When I make this with my students, the ones who don't think they like tomatoes instantly change their minds and slurp down their soup!

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

It was a cold snowy weekend and I had a hankering for warm creamy soup. The soup might scare off some people thinking it will be too sweet, but its actually a great balance between sweet and savory. And I know the granola in soup seems weird but it was AMAZING, I actually added more to my bowl than just a garnish!

This is one of the soups that we make at school that never has any leftovers. Both students and staff love this soup.

2 clove garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
