How to do:
Cauliflower soup special – Ingredients
- Prepare all the ingredients for the soup. Cut the Cauliflower, onions, garlic, and leek into slices.
Cooking pot, let it “burn”
2. Here comes the secret step, put a medium size pot on heat and add 2 tbsp Olive oil. Let the Cauliflower roast in the pot until it gets golden brown. Add the onions, garlic, thyme and leek and sear with the cauliflower for 2-3 more minutes. (some dark brown parts in the pot are totally ok at this step).
The roasting of the Cauliflower gives this soup is special and unique taste and a lot of aroma & flavour
3. Fill up with around 1 liter of vegetable broth and let the soup cook until soft. Press the cauliflower with a fork against the pot wall to test if its soft enough for mixing. After that start blending the whole soup till a creamy texture evolves.
4. Whip the soy cream with a pinch of salt. Half of it you add to the soup together with salt and white pepper. (I add a little bit of agave syrup for the final perfect taste)
