CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Curried cauliflower soup image

This smooth, creamy cauliflower soup is a soothing and luxurious winter dish that can easily be jazzed up for guests.

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Starters & nibbles

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp mild curry powder
600g/1lb 5oz cauliflower, stalk removed, florets roughly chopped
500ml/17fl oz milk
500ml/17fl oz vegetable stock
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
pinch sea salt flakes
4 free-range eggs
2 slices white bread, cut into cubes
freshly ground black pepper
squeeze lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander or parsley leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the rapeseed oil in a deep-sided sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until just softened. Stir in the curry powder and cook for a further minute, then add the cauliflower and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the milk and vegetable stock and bring the soup to the boil, then reduce the heat until the soup is simmering and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower florets are just tender.
  • Meanwhile, poach the eggs. Prepare a bowl of iced water. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the vinegar and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat until the water is just simmering.
  • Crack 1 of the eggs into a small bowl. Whisk the water to create a whirlpool, then drop the egg into the vortex. Simmer for 1-1½ minutes, then carefully lift the poached egg out of the pan and transfer to the iced water.
  • Repeat the poaching process with the remaining eggs. Keep the eggs chilled in the fridge, in the water, until needed.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the rapeseed oil in a separate frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the bread cubes on all sides until golden-brown all over, then set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Set aside.
  • When the soup is ready, set aside to cool slightly, then blend to a smooth purée using a food processor or hand-held blender. Return the soup to the saucepan, season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • When ready to serve, bring a pan of water to the boil, then remove it from the heat and gently lower the poached eggs into the water all at once to reheat for 30-60 seconds, or until hot throughout.
  • Serve the soup in bowls and garnish each portion with a poached egg, a scattering of croûtons and herbs, and a drizzle of the remaining rapeseed oil.

CURRY CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Curry Cauliflower Soup image

Cauliflower is a wonderful vegetable that's full of excellent cancer-fighting enzymes, yet it's sorely in need of a PR campaign. That's because most people steam cauliflower, which makes the kitchen smell like a stink bomb detonated. Either that or, like my dad, they eat cauliflower raw and tasteless as crudités (in his case, dipped in Russian dressing). The secret is to roast cauliflower. Not only does this avoid the sulfur smell, it also produces an unbelievably sweet flavor.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced small
1 cup finely diced celery
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups Magic Mineral Broth (page 54)
Apricot Pear Chutney (page 175), for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then spread it in an even layer on the prepared pan. Bake until the cauliflower is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and sauté until the vegetables begin to brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir until the spices have coated the vegetables. Pour in 1/2 cup of the broth to deglaze the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour 3 cups of the remaining broth into a blender, then add half of the sautéed vegetables and roasted cauliflower. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture into a soup pot and repeat the process with the remaining 2 1/2 cups broth and the remaining vegetables and cauliflower. For a thinner consistency, add another cup of broth.
  • Gently reheat the soup over low heat, then do a FASS check. You may want to add a spritz of fresh lemon juice and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Serve garnished with a dollop of Apricot Pear Chutney, which undoubtedly will take you to the land of yum!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

A delightful, gourmet cold soup that will leave your guests asking, what IS this--it's delicious? (Don't tell them it's only cauliflower!) The secret is to use only the freshest spices.

Provided by Tumerica

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cauliflower, trimmed and cut into pieces
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup half-and-half (or milk)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons curry powder, preferably homemade (see recipe below)
2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch, to thicken
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon peppercorn
1 teaspoon cardamom pod

Steps:

  • Soup:.
  • Steam the cut cauliflower until tender. Drain and add back to pot.
  • Add chicken stock, milk, olive oil, grated ginger, and spices. Boil until nicely blended and cauliflower starts to disintegrate, about 10 minutes.
  • Either pour the soup into a blender or food processor to blend, or use a hand-held mixer to smooth the soup into a lovely, creamy consistency.
  • Mix cornstarch with a couple tablespoons of water to make a smooth paste. Stir this cornstarch paste into the hot soup until it has thickened, and then remove it from heat.
  • Let cool in the refrigerator until time to serve. Place shaved ice in each bowl and then place a smaller terrine on top of the ice. Ladle the soup into the smaller terrines. Enjoy on a hot day, letting guests add in cayenne or other spicy seasonings to taste.
  • Curry Powder:.
  • Place whole spices in a heavy frying pan (without oil--just directly in the pan) and toast over low-medium heat, stirring to toast all sides of the spices. Remove and cool. Transfer to a grinder, such as a coffee grinder or a blender on high. Grind and remove to an air-tight container.
  • Note: Whole turmeric is hard to find, but the other spices are easy. Make this recipe in much larger batches, say, 1/4 cup increments, and store it for later use or even place in fancy containers for gift-giving. Enjoy!
