CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL



Creamy Cauliflower Soup With Rosemary Olive Oil image

This soup turns a short list of vegan ingredients into a sublimely silky soup. Infusing olive oil with fresh rosemary is a trick you'll want to keep up your sleeve: The results are delicious brushed on roast chicken, drizzled over roasted winter vegetables or even just sopped up with a nice piece of bread. The croutons here are optional, but they transform an elegant and delicate first-course soup into a satisfying lunch.

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, soups and stews, vegetables, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup olive oil
4 (4-inch) sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 quart low-sodium vegetable stock, plus more as needed for reheating
1 medium head cauliflower, cored and broken into 1 1/2-inch florets (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon, for serving
3 cups diced rustic country bread (3/4-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Make the rosemary oil: In a medium skillet, combine the olive oil and rosemary sprigs. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, lowering the heat if the oil reaches a full simmer. (You want to cook it at a very gentle simmer to avoid frying the rosemary.) Carefully pour the oil and rosemary into a small bowl, leaving a slick of oil in the pan if you plan to make croutons. Allow the rosemary to cool completely in the oil while you make the soup.
  • Make the soup: In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (Be careful not to let the garlic scorch!)
  • Add the stock, cauliflower, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the optional croutons: Heat the reserved skillet with the residual rosemary oil over medium. Add the bread cubes, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing often, until toasted all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the croutons to a plate or board to cool.
  • Strain and discard the rosemary stems from the rosemary oil. Working in batches if necessary, carefully transfer the vegetables, stock and 1/4 cup rosemary oil to a blender and blend on high until creamy. Add more rosemary oil to taste, and blend to combine. Return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer. If the soup seems thin, let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce slightly. (Remember: The soup will continue to thicken as it cools.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot. Garnish each serving with a swirl of rosemary oil, a few croutons, and a sprinkle of lemon zest. The soup will thicken as it sits; add more stock as necessary when reheating. Leftover rosemary oil will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

CURRY CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Curry Cauliflower Soup image

Cauliflower is a wonderful vegetable that's full of excellent cancer-fighting enzymes, yet it's sorely in need of a PR campaign. That's because most people steam cauliflower, which makes the kitchen smell like a stink bomb detonated. Either that or, like my dad, they eat cauliflower raw and tasteless as crudités (in his case, dipped in Russian dressing). The secret is to roast cauliflower. Not only does this avoid the sulfur smell, it also produces an unbelievably sweet flavor.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced small
1 cup finely diced celery
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups Magic Mineral Broth (page 54)
Apricot Pear Chutney (page 175), for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then spread it in an even layer on the prepared pan. Bake until the cauliflower is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and sauté until the vegetables begin to brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir until the spices have coated the vegetables. Pour in 1/2 cup of the broth to deglaze the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour 3 cups of the remaining broth into a blender, then add half of the sautéed vegetables and roasted cauliflower. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture into a soup pot and repeat the process with the remaining 2 1/2 cups broth and the remaining vegetables and cauliflower. For a thinner consistency, add another cup of broth.
  • Gently reheat the soup over low heat, then do a FASS check. You may want to add a spritz of fresh lemon juice and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Serve garnished with a dollop of Apricot Pear Chutney, which undoubtedly will take you to the land of yum!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Tips for Making Cauliflower Soup with Curried Croutons:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor, select a fresh head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Roast the cauliflower before cooking: Roasting the cauliflower in the oven prior to adding it to the soup intensifies its flavor and gives it a slightly caramelized crust.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is an important component of the soup, so it's worth using a good quality vegetable broth that is flavorful and has a rich color.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Cauliflower soup is best when it is cooked until the cauliflower is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
  • Make the curried croutons ahead of time: The curried croutons can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the soup.
