| Cauliflower Soup |
Our first dish for the VegOut! Challenge’s Virtual Veggie Potluck is Cauliflower Soup, a favorite from Cooks Country . Elegant in it’s simplicity:
CAULIFLOWER SOUP
INGREDIENTS
- 1 onion
- 1 leek
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 4 cups water
- head of fresh cauliflower
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
TO PREPARE
Chop onion and slice leek thinly. Cut cauliflower head in half; remove tough stalk and chop. Melt the butter in a soup pot set over medium-high heat and sauté onions and leeks until they are translucent. Add the water, 1/2 cauliflower and salt; cook 15 minutes, or until tender. Stir; add rest of the cauliflower and cook 15 minutes longer. Remove from heat and puree with a stick blender.
I have topped it here with crisped julienne of Brussels sprouts and a spicy toasted nut mix, serving with a Barbaresco.
