Make this soup and I can guarantee your taste buds will thank you, it is awesome. Cauliflowers have been cheap the past couple of weeks, I picked one up on my last big shop, along with a leek.

When I received our family tax benefit top up, I treated us to some luxury food. Scallops, even though frozen, still yummy, and a small block of pancetta. Looking at this now, it could have done with some of those little rosemary flowers I posted yesterday. I used the cauli soup as a sauce, yum!
I love cauliflower soup! This sounds delicious :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise how much I loved it until I tasted this simple recipe! Deeeelicious :)
DeleteYUMMO - my kids never eat cooked veges either. Might have to try make cauli soup as I had it at the pub recently and it was super tasty :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I need to cook soup more regularly, we always enjoy it! I reckon this would be a crowd pleaser here! What a cheeky kitchen hand you have :)
ReplyDeleteOh Yummo!!! I love cauli soup - especially with bacon!! Great idea using it with the scallops too!! So wish I could get my little man to eat raw or cooked vegetables ... that'd be a bonus!! :)
ReplyDeleteYum. That sounds REALLY good. I'll have mine without the bacon though ;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I have never tried cauli soup with cabbage. Yet another recipe to add to the file :)

Looks fantastic! I just wish I liked cauliflower!
ReplyDeleteYum! Soup and scallops both sound devine... I used to eat raw cauliflower as a kid too. Still do sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love using cauliflower - so much bang for your kilojoule count! And it is a classic and comforting winter flavour.
ReplyDeleteUmmm yumm!!!!! This looks delish! I love how you made the soup and then used it as a sauce too. Perfect idea. Hehe your daughter is very cute pinching the raw cauliflower! Thanks for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Fridays party! xx
