Creamy Spiced Cauliflower Soup

A lightly spiced, satisfyingly creamy bowl of absolute delight. My favourite sort of comfort food will always come in the form of a thick soup with a soft slice of buttered bread to submerge in to it as I murmur softly to myself, ‘nnnngggg dis is jus sooo guudddd’ before going in for another spoon of velvety goodness. *Ahem* Excuse me, do you mind? I just…. I just I need to be alone with my soup for a while…

Recipe type: lunch, dinner

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp oil
• ½ tsp fennel seeds
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground cumin
• Small handful fresh thyme, stalks removed (used dried if you can't get fresh)
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• sprinkle of chilli flakes
• 1 large cauliflower, leaves removed
• 700ml veg stock

Instructions

1. What you need to do:
2. Fry the onion in the oil until soft, then add in the garlic and all the herbs and spices. Cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring frequently to get all the flavours out.
3. Add in the cauliflower and stir really well to get it nicely coated in all of the colours of the spices. Cook for another few minutes whilst you boil the kettle for the stock.
4. Pour over the stock and bring to the boil before simmering gently for about 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
5. Transfer to a blender or use a hand blender to whizz it up until nice and smooth. Season to taste, and serve up with your favourite bread and butter.
