½ tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Select a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or bruises.
  • Prepare the cauliflower properly: Cut the cauliflower into small florets and remove the tough core. Rinse the florets thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use fresh sorrel: Fresh sorrel has a bright, lemony flavor that is essential to this soup. If you can't find fresh sorrel, you can substitute arugula or spinach, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The cauliflower should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of crème fraîche for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower and sorrel soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and has a unique, tangy flavor. This soup is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. You can also add a protein source, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu. No matter how you choose to make it, cauliflower and sorrel soup is a delicious and satisfying meal.
