I've been learning a bit more about cauliflower recently. I'd always written it off due to its colour - I mean how could a white vegetable contain much in the way of nutrients? Well, cauliflower is really back in vogue these days. And, it turns out that it's super healthy! It's a great source of vitamin C, folate, and vitamin K, as well as fibre.
Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of plain old boiled or steamed cauliflower, and adding cheese sauce seems to sort of defeat the purpose. So, after talking to a friend about an amazing cauliflower soup she threw together for her baby, I decided to see if I could come up with my own version. It was so easy and simple, I forgot to even take a picture of it before it was all gobbled up or frozen into baby cubes.
Here's the recipe, should you choose to give it a whirl -
Cauliflower Carrot Soup
1 medium head of cauliflower
2 large carrots
1 medium onion
2 medium cloves garlic
1 tbsp butter
4 cups low sodium chicken stock
1. Melt butter in a large pot, and add chopped onion and crushed garlic. Cook over medium heat until onion is translucent.
2. Add stock, chopped carrots, and cauliflower flowerets. Bring to a boil.
3. Cook covered, over medium heat until cauliflower is fall-apart cooked.
4. Blend until smooth, adding water if too thick.
5. Serve and enjoy!
Everyone in my family enjoyed this soup, especially Little Smiling Man. I'd even say that it's his favourite food so far! It was versatile and delicious, and so very easy to make. This one will definitely reappear on our table to help us all enjoy more cauliflower!
