Today
I am showing you a little soup I made – a lightly
curried cauliflower soup. It was
light and delicate and made for a good lunch.
I
was inspired to make it by having about ¼ of a lightly cooked cauliflower left
over. I had used the rest in a salad.
I
sautéed a few slices of onion (finely sliced) in a mix of oil and butter and
seasoned with ½ a teaspoon of crushed garlic, ½ teaspoon of curry powder, a
tiny bit of ground ginger, salt and white pepper. I didn't use very much salt at all because I
was going to add some parmesan cheese at the end and that is quite salty.
I
added the cooked cauliflower and when it was boiling pureed it with a stick
blender and added a small amount of water to get a nice consistency for the
soup.
I
served it with a dollop of sour cream, some shaved parmesan on top as well as
some chopped parsley. Easy but
sophisticated enough that you could serve it as a first course for a dinner
party.
Love how resourceful you are with ingredients on hand. I waste a lot of bits and pieces and leftovers. Your soup sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteYum… wish I had a bowl of that right now!
ReplyDeleteHow simple and so very warming and comforting on a winter's evening. And a great way to repurpose leftovers!
