CAULIFLOWER CHEESE SOUP



Cauliflower Cheese Soup image

This is one of Jamie Oliver's recipes. It is delicious! My whole family loves this, even my 8 year old..and he doesn't usually eat soup at all!! I totally recommend adding the bacon as a garnish, it really finishes it off!

Provided by Sara 76

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 carrots
2 sticks celery
2 medium onions
2 garlic cloves
800 g cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
200 g cheddar cheese
2 vegetable bouillon cubes (or chicken)
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon English mustard
nutmeg (optional)
1 7/8 liters water, boiling

Steps:

  • Peel and roughly chop the carrots.
  • Slice the celery.
  • Peel and roughly chop the onions.
  • Peel and slice the garlic.
  • Cut the cauliflower into 1.5cm slices.
  • Put a large pan on medium heat and add 2tb olive oil.
  • Add all your chopped and sliced ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon.
  • Cook for around 10 minutes with the lid askew, until the carrots have softened but are still holding their shape, and the onion is lightly golden.
  • Grate the cheddar into a bowl and put to one side for later.
  • Put the stock cubes into a jug or pan and pour in 1.8 litres of boiling water from the kettle.
  • Stir until the stock cubes are dissolved, then add the vegetables.
  • Give the soup a good stir and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add the cheese and mustard.
  • Using a hand blender or liquidizer, pulse the soup until silky smooth.
  • Divide between your serving bowls and grate over some nutmeg, if you like.
  • If you want to dress it up a bit, top it with some lightly fried crispy bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality cauliflower: Look for cauliflower heads that are compact, heavy, and have a bright white color.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but if you use water, you'll need to add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is what gives the soup its creamy and rich flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, or a combination of both.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soup with cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a creamy and flavorful soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this cauliflower soup with cheese a try.
