Steps:
- In a 4-quart heavy saucepan cook onion and caraway seeds in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Stir in cauliflower and orzo and simmer, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes. Stir in chicken and Swiss chard and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Soup may be made 3 days ahead, cooled, uncovered, and chilled, covered.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cauliflower: A fresh, firm cauliflower will produce the best soup. Look for one with tightly packed florets and no signs of browning or bruising.
- Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the soup: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. You can roast the cauliflower in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even bone broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
- Don't overcook the soup: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooking the soup will make the cauliflower mushy and bland.
- Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cauliflower soup include shredded cheese, croutons, bacon, and chives. You can also add a swirl of cream or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture and delicate flavor, cauliflower soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
