Cauliflower and Nutmeg Soup image

From Australian Good Taste June 2010, page 121. The size of cauliflower is not specified but I used one which was 900g trimmed, and I found I had to simmer it a little longer to get the right consistency. You can also use vegetable stock for a vegetarian recipe.

Tips for Making the Best Cauliflower and Nutmeg Soup:

- Choose the right cauliflower. For the best flavor and texture, use a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no brown spots or bruises. - Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup. Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving the soup a richer flavor. - Use a good quality nutmeg. Freshly grated nutmeg has a much more intense flavor than pre-ground nutmeg, so it's worth seeking it out. - Don't overcook the soup. Cauliflower is a delicate vegetable, and it can easily become mushy if it's overcooked. Cook the soup just until the cauliflower is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. - Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Grated Parmesan cheese, toasted croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil are all great options.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower and nutmeg soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
