SPLIT PEA & CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Split Pea & Cauliflower Soup image

A variation of pea soup is part of many cultures. In the 18th and 19th centuries, split pea soup played a prominent role in the British and Irish diets. Sailors loved eating peas, because they were inexpensive and stored easily in dried form. Both are still true today, which means peas remain a great staple food in modern times.

Categories     Soups & Stews/">Soups & Stews

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups green split peas
8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or water
2 cups cauliflower, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon garlic granules
½ teaspoon curry
½ teaspoon garam masala

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot with a lid, bring the split peas and the vegetable broth or water to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • In a sauté pan, sweat* the cauliflower, carrots, and onions until the cauliflower starts to brown and the onions become translucent, stirring frequently. If the veggies start to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a little water as needed. Then add the spices and cook for a couple more minutes, stirring frequently. Pour the veggies into the split peas.
  • Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. The longer the soup cooks, the more the split peas break down and the creamier the soup becomes. If it gets too thick, you can add more water or vegetable broth. Note: Sweating is a mix of sautéing and steaming. The idea is that the veggies "sweat" (release some of their natural water), creating enough moisture to soften and steam them in their own juices without adding any liquid. To sweat cut veggies, place them in a dry sauté pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the desired consistency is reached, covering the pan when not stirring. If the veggies start to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a little water or vegetable broth. You can also turn down the heat.

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 I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!!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.

Tips:

  • Select the right cauliflower: Choose a cauliflower head that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
  • Roast the cauliflower before using it: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and gives the soup a smoky flavor. Be sure to roast the cauliflower until it is slightly charred.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is made with real vegetables and herbs, and avoid broths that contain added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Peas cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked peas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Creamy cauliflower pea soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower and peas. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
