Categories     Soup/Stew     Pasta     Vegetable     Parmesan     Cauliflower     Fall     Simmer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 quarts chicken stock (page 303; not canned broth)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 1/2 pounds cauliflower (preferably Romanesco), cut into 1-inch-wide florets
1/4 pound spaghetti, broken into roughly 1 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Sicilian)
2 ounces finely grated Pecorino (preferably Sicilian) or Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over high heat and add sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in cauliflower and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in pasta and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 10 to 15 minutes (pasta takes longer to cook in stock than in water).
  • Stir in sea salt to taste and serve soup drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with cheese.

Tips:

  • For a creamy texture, blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
  • To add a bit of spice, season the soup with a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • For a more flavorful soup, roast the cauliflower and garlic before adding them to the pot.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.
