Cauliflower Soup

With the Fall weather upon us, I'm craving comfort food.

Bet you are, too. Here's a favourite of mine when the weather turns nippy.



Cauliflower Soup

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small flowerettes.
1 onion, sliced
6 large mushrooms, sliced
6 cups of chicken stock or vegetable stock

Preheat oven to 400.
Place cauliflower flowerettes on a baking sheet.
Season with salt, pepper, celery salt, olive oil.
Roast the cauliflower until soft and golden (approx. 45 min.)
While cauliflower is roasting, add olive oil to a large soup pot and sauté onions and mushrooms until golden.
Add roasted cauliflower to onions and mushrooms, cover with stock.
Bring to boil.
Season to your liking, I like lots of pepper and a half cup of parmesan cheese. (Rosemary or thyme also work well with this soup.)
Puree the soup before serving.
After serving, the soup can be topped with parmesan cheese and a little bit of table cream (make a pretty swirl if you have company!)

This sounds delicious and as there are times I have trouble with digestion and need all pureed soups this should be perfect. Can't wait to try it.

I just made a similar soup! Only mine was butternut squash and carrot, not cauliflower and mushroom. Which...I suppose is quite different! LOL But you know, it had onions and stock, and it was pureed. Heh.

This looks delish, but I have a problem with mushrooms. Can you think of something I could add instead. And no - not an allergy - just a "mushrooms are a fungus thing"

shuddup....lmao

:P
