Delectable Cauliflower Soup
So silky and
creamy you’ll want to make it often. Add your own
preferred level of heat and
sweetness.
Ingredients:
500gm
cauliflower (chopped finely for faster cooking)
50gm butter
60gm cream
cheese
20gm pecan nuts
1 spring onion
or small onion of choice, finely sliced
1 teaspoon fresh
ginger, finely diced
1 tablespoon of
quality mustard (I used Dijon)
1 tablespoon of
maple syrup
Vegetable stock
as required
For finishing:
lemon, chives, cream, salt & pepper
Heat frying pan over medium heat and add
butter, mustard, ginger, and onion. When onion is soft, add cauliflower and
cook until it begins to brown and soften, stirring often. Add vegetable stock
(approx. 1 cup) and allow to simmer until cooked. Use more stock if you prefer
a thinner soup. Add cream cheese, maple syrup, and pecans, stirring until mixed
through.
Blitz with a
hand blender or similar until completely silky smooth. Pour into two bowls,
drizzle cream on top, then add some chives, salt & pepper to taste, and a
good squeeze of lemon.
Indulgent enough
for a dinner party, but quick enough to make anytime.
About Phillipa Nefri Clark
Phillipa Nefri Clark grew up around lonely Australian
beaches with wild seas and misty cliffs. From a young age she wrote stories and
dreamed of being a writer. There were many detours along the way as she trod
paths as diverse as a travelling sales rep to singing and acting. Fascinated by
film, Phillipa wrote five feature length screenplays, one which was optioned.
Now living in regional Victoria on a small acreage close to a mountain range,
she markets the family business a few days a week and writes the rest of the
time. With nonfiction credits for specialist canine publications, she finally
returned to stories with the release of The Stationmaster’s Cottage, a dual
timeline romance, in February 2017. Her great loves, apart from writing, are
her family of two young adult sons and her husband, their Labrador, music, fine wine, and friends.

Jasmine Sea: A River's End Love Story. Book Two
Sometimes facing the past is the only way forward.
Starting over never felt better. Christie Ryan adores the
little cottage she’s renovating, the seaside town that embraced her, and Martin
Blake, the man she longs to marry. Ex-fiancé Derek Hobbs is finally out of the
picture, and there are no more secrets in her life or mysteries to solve.
Will the arrival of a mysterious woman who commissions a
portrait from Martin under a cloud of secrecy break her after all? Unrest and
suspicion remind Christie that happiness can be fleeting, and when the peaceful
town is shattered by crime, her past is again thrust into the limelight.
With one chance and only minutes to save those she loves,
Christie comes face to face with her greatest fear—and there is no way around
it.
Jasmine Sea follows on from The Stationmaster's Cottage, set
shortly after its stunning conclusion.

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, you can also use the base ingredients for other vegetables such as broccoli, sweet potato, or mushroom. Love cauliflower soup! In The Stationmaster's Cottage (River's End Romance Book 1), there was a scene with a similar recipe - however it ended up being deleted! I may put together some of the deleted scenes as a blog one day :-).
DeleteI'm normally a soup person, but these ingredients make this sound very yummy! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteHi RO! The beauty is that you can make it as thick or thin as you wish, so if you prefer more of a puree texture then leave out some liquid. Let me know if you try it :-).
DeleteSandra sent my over - and I adore cauliflower - any way it comes. Thank you so much for expanding my repetoire.
