CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II



Cream of Cauliflower Soup II image

I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Cauliflower

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic
salt to taste
1 large russet potato, peeled and quartered
2 heads cauliflower, cored and separated into florets
1 quart chicken broth
1 quart water
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
½ cup heavy cream
4 strips bacon, chopped
1 ½ cups fresh breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and salt, and stir for 1 minute. Stir in potato, cauliflower, chicken broth, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until cauliflower is tender and potatoes are easily smashed against the side of the pot, about 30 minutes.
  • Puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Reduce heat to low, season with cayenne pepper and salt. Pour in cream and stir until warmed. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Toss breadcrumbs in the remaining bacon grease in the skillet, and cook over low heat until toasted and crisp. Stir in cheese and continue to cook until melted. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir in bacon, lemon zest, and parsley. Toss to coat.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-riced cauliflower or break down a head of cauliflower into florets and pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  • For a more intense flavor, roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup. Toss the florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  • If you don't have pakora spice blend, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder. Start with 1 teaspoon of each spice and adjust to taste.
  • For a vegan version of the soup, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the yogurt.
  • Serve the soup with a side of naan, rice, or your favorite bread for dipping.

Conclusion:

Creamy cauliflower pakora soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
