Cauliflower and Carrot Soup


This is a really simple soup great for this time of year, hubby was asking for a soup, so heres my new invention! I had a cauliflower and carrots on hand and coriander so made a nice comforting soup. Got to love soup as you can add almost anything!





Ingredients:

  • 3 chopped carrots
  • one whole cauliflower chopped
  • one liter of vegetable stock
  • 1/2 a bunch of chopped coriander/cilantro
  • 1/2 a chopped onion
  • 4 cloves of chopped garlic
Method:

1. saute the onions and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes 
2. then add the cauliflower and carrots and mix
add the stock and coriander and simmer for 30 minutes until very soft
3. transfer to a blender to puree and serve :-) I added some creme fraiche at the end as well



Have a wonderful start to the week everyone 

Love

  2. Rebecca this looks great! Nice recipe I love cauliflower and like it simple like this! I've even whizzed steamed cauliflower and a touch of good ranch dressing in a food processor for a quick healthy dip!

  7. How yummy! I made some carrot soup the other day too, but with lentils. Next time I shall try with cauliflowers! (I bet my husband wouldn't tell there's cauliflowers inside...a perfect way to "cheat" him to eat cauliflowers!)
