CAULIFLOWER SOUP

This is a Yummy and Creamy soup. It tastes very classic. Its my inspiration from the famous cook, Sanjeev kapoor's creamy brocolli soup with garlic.  I was much tempted on seeing the brocolli soup, on television. I couldnt get brocolli on that day, So I substituted caulifower instead of brocolli and with some more little alterations, I got this yummy creamy soup. I felt the soup was heavy and can be serve as a meal instead to be a starter.

Ingredients:

1. Cauliflower - 1 medium size
2. Garlic - 6-7 cloves
3. Bay leaf - 1
4. Salt - as required
5. milk / cream - 1/2 cup


Seasoning :

1.  Sliced Roasted  garlic - 1/2 tbs
2. Pepper - as required
3. Butter - 1/2 tbs
4. Fresh bell peppers / capsicum - 1/2 cup  chopped red/ yellow/ green colour

Method:

1. Remove the cauliflower florets seperately, wash it and clean it from worms and other things. Keep it in a seperate bowl.

2.  Heat another pan, add 1/2 tbs butter to it. Add  garlic cloves. Fry it to golden brown. Keep it separate. Fry chopped capsicum also and keep it separately which can be added while serving. 

 3. In the same pan, add the bay leaf and sliced garlic. Roast it nicely. keep it seperately. Add

4. Boil 2 cups of water in a vessel.  Add the cauliflower florets. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Strain the florets separately. Once it comes to room temperature, grind with roasted garlic cloves to a smooth puree. 

5. Transfer to a sauce pan, pour the puree and allow to cook for a minute with little bit salt. 

6. Transfer the soup with roasted sliced garlic pieces and capsicum pieces. 

Note : You should try broccoli soup also. Just substitute broccoli in place of cauliflower. Its very nutritious and yummy soup.
