HUNGARIAN CAULIFLOWER SOUP

I keep leftover ham bones in the freezer to make soup with. I love the smell of a ham bone simmering away waiting for the vegetables to come and join in.

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Other Soups

Number Of Ingredients 12

ham bone
water to cover
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 medium onions, chopped
4-5 large carrots, peeled and cubed
4 celery ribs, diced
1 bay leaf
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 qt milk
4 Tbsp flour or cornstarch mixed with some of the milk to make a slurry
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
paprika and fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Put ham bone in a large Dutch oven and cover with water. Saute` onions, carrots and celery in olive oil. Add to ham bone and water along with a bay leaf. Simmer a couple of hours or until meat is falling off the bone.
  • 2. Remove ham bone from pot and allow to cool. Meanwhile add the cauliflower to broth and simmer until tender.
  • 3. Add the ham pieces back to broth. Make a slurry with milk and flour or cornstarch. Stir into simmering broth. Add milk and allow to thicken. Adjust seasonings.
  • 4. Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley. If there isn't as much ham as you would like I buy a package of cubed ham and add just til it is just heated through as ham is already cooked.

Tips:

  • Choose a cauliflower head that is firm and white, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Remove the outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets.
  • To save time, use a food processor to chop the onion and garlic.
  • If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish the soup with chopped parsley or chives before serving.

Hungarian cauliflower soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower.
