- 1 large cauliflower broken into florets
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 stick celery finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 whole leek sliced
- 750 ml vegetable stock or broth
- 100 g mature cheddar cheese grated
- 1 sprig rosemary or thyme or both
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Toss the cauliflower florets in the roasting tray with a glug of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Add the herb sprigs, and roast in an oven at 200C for around 20 minutes. You want the cauliflower looking gold, with a slight browning around the edges.
While that is cooking, heat some oil in a saucepan on a medium heat, and then add the onion, celery and leek. Cook for 10 minutes stirring constantly, and then add garlic for 1 minute.
By now the cauliflower will be about done, so take that out the oven and add the cooked cauliflower to the saucepan.
Add in the stock, bring to a simmer and cook for around 15 minutes.
Blend and serve immediately with some extra grated cheese on top.
You'll have noted that this is a roasted cauliflower soup - you can also cook the cauliflower in the saucepan with the other ingredients, but we love the way roasting brings out more of the flavour of the cauliflower. Even if it does create more washing up...
