Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

700 g (1.5lb) organic cauliflower ((prepared after stalk/leaves removed))
2 leeks (white part only) (sliced)
55 g (2oz) butter ((unsalted))
2 tbsp flour ((all purpose))
1 litre chicken stock (* (stock mixed with hot water))
2 egg yolks (organic)
100 g (3.5oz) half-fat cream or crème fraîche
Fresh chervil or flat-leaf parsley (optional, for decor)
1/2 tsp each of salt (fleur de sel) & freshly ground pepper

Gradually whisk in the hot stock. Add the cauliflower florets, setting aside a few of the raw, smallest florets for decor. Bring to the boil.
  • Cover, turn down the heat and leave to simmer gently for about 25 minutes.
  • Towards the end of cooking, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the cream, salt and pepper. Add a ladle-full of the soup's hot liquid and whisk together. Using a hand-mixer, blitz the soup until well blended. Gradually whisk in the yolk and cream mixture until the soup is smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve topped with tiny raw cauliflower florets, chopped fresh chervil or parsley.

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 I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!!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

  • Choose the best cauliflower: For the creamiest soup, use a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size. Avoid heads with blemishes or brown spots.
  • Roast the cauliflower before pureeing: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor. Be sure to roast the cauliflower until it is tender and 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 broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered gently until it is heated through. Overcooking the soup will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Crème du Barry cauliflower soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture and delicate flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
