Cauliflower Cheese Soup

For week 4 I will be posting some bookmarked recipes which have been lying in my folders for a while now. For Day 1 here is the delightful soup which was well liked by my family.

My husband got a picture of this soup with the ingredients listed from a buffet lunch he had attended. So I approximated the ingredients and came up with this version. He says the soup comes very close to the one he tasted except for the type of cheese, curry powder and full fat/heavy cream (instead of low fat milk :) ) used in the original.

Ingredients - 

Onion, chopped 1/2 cup
Garlic, grated 2 cloves
Olive Oil 1 tsp
Wheat Flour 1 Tbsp
Cauliflower Florets 2 cups
Milk 1 1/2 to 2 cups
Vegetable Stock 2 cups
Dried Parsley 1 tsp
Curry Powder 1/2 tsp (I used Garam Masala)
Cheese 1/2 to 1 cup
Salt and Pepper as needed

Method Of Preparation -


In a heated pan, add oil and saute onion and garlic. Add in the cauliflower and vegetable stock. Cover and let the cauliflower cook through.

In a separate bowl, mix wheat flour in cold milk and make a thin paste.

Add this thin mixture into the simmering cauliflower soup. 

Reduce the heat, add in the curry powder, salt, pepper and parsley. Using an immersion blender, blend it slightly until the soup resembles the texture of your preference. Mix well and remove from heat.

Sprinkle cheese and serve warm.
