Cauliflower soup

Cauliflower soup recipe
Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp vegan margarine or coconut oil or bacon grease
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 potato, diced
  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped
  • 4  cups vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • dash nutmeg
Preparation:
If you would like to use bacon: first make bacon, then eat it, or save it to crumble on top later :)
In a large soup or stock pot, sautee the onion and garlic in the oil of choice for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onions are soft.
Add the chopped potato and cauliflower and cook for a few more minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the vegetable broth and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Cover and allow to cook for 25 - 30 minutes.
(bet you could add ham or something here Megan?)

Remove the bay leaves, then transfer soup to a blender and puree. Season with salt, pepper

  1. Yes - ham would be nice. I don't generally eat potatoes, though probably another head of cauliflower could sub for that. I'm more tempted to just eat the cauliflower as "mashed potatoes" though! : )
