Cauliflower Soup



I love cauliflower for its health benefits, low price, and lack of impact on blood sugar. You don't have to buy organic because the properties of the plant itself make it resistant to bugs; therefore farmers don't spray it much. Cauliflower takes well to spices like turmeric, cumin, ground coriander - an Indian curry blend. If you want to make soup, it is best to steam it. People who don't like it that much will often change their minds if you serve it roasted until it gets crispy brown edges.

That looks great. I don't suppose you'd share your recipe? Just bought a bunch of cauliflower. :)

Dave made cauliflower a few days ago - neither one of us liked cauliflower before then, but, like your blog said, we liked it roasted! He just put it in a pan w/ a bunch of garlic, EVOO, and a squeeze of a grapefruit (it was supposed to be a lemon, but we didn't have any in the house) and roasted it in the oven. He grated a little parmesan cheese on top right at the end. Quite tasty.

Would love to try making the soup!

Steamed works best for soup, or just roasted until soft. Use broth and roasted garlic and onions.
