COLD CURRY CAULIFLOWER SOUP--SMOOTH, SIMPLE, & YUMMY!



Cold Curry Cauliflower Soup--Smooth, Simple, & Yummy! image

Wondering what to do with that head of cauliflower in the frig? Tired of plain ol' steamed cauliflower? Ho hum. Well, with little effort and just a bit of aplomb, you can transform that humble veggie into an exotic meal-opener. A delightful, gourmet cold soup that will leave your guests asking, what IS this--it's delicious? (Don't tell them it's only cauliflower!) The secret is to use only the freshest spices. Freshly toasted and ground spices are the best. But if you do use a ready-made curry powder, be sure to select one that is fresh and does not contain salt.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cauliflower, trimmed and cut into pieces
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup half-and-half (or milk)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons curry powder, preferably homemade (see recipe below)
2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch, to thicken
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon peppercorn
1 teaspoon cardamom pod

Steps:

  • Soup:.
  • Steam the cut cauliflower until tender. Drain and add back to pot.
  • Add chicken stock, milk, olive oil, grated ginger, and spices. Boil until nicely blended and cauliflower starts to disintegrate, about 10 minutes.
  • Either pour the soup into a blender or food processor to blend, or use a hand-held mixer to smooth the soup into a lovely, creamy consistency.
  • Mix cornstarch with a couple tablespoons of water to make a smooth paste. Stir this cornstarch paste into the hot soup until it has thickened, and then remove it from heat.
  • Let cool in the refrigerator until time to serve. Place shaved ice in each bowl and then place a smaller terrine on top of the ice. Ladle the soup into the smaller terrines. Enjoy on a hot day, letting guests add in cayenne or other spicy seasonings to taste.
  • Curry Powder:.
  • Place whole spices in a heavy frying pan (without oil--just directly in the pan) and toast over low-medium heat, stirring to toast all sides of the spices. Remove and cool. Transfer to a grinder, such as a coffee grinder or a blender on high. Grind and remove to an air-tight container.
  • Note: Whole turmeric is hard to find, but the other spices are easy. Make this recipe in much larger batches, say, 1/4 cup increments, and store it for later use or even place in fancy containers for gift-giving. Enjoy!

TIM PERRY'S SOUP (CREAMY CURRY CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI SOUP)



Tim Perry's Soup (Creamy Curry Cauliflower and Broccoli Soup) image

My boss brought this soup to the office one fine day and I was hooked on it from the first taste. It is a snap to make and the flavors are mild, yet very distinct. My kids loved it the first time I made it at home and it instantly became known as 'Tim Perry's Soup.' You might like a stronger curry flavour or a creamier soup, so adjust the seasonings to your taste. It's ready within the hour, but the longer it simmers the better the flavor. Serve with crusty bread and butter.

CURRY CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Curry Cauliflower Soup image

Cauliflower is a wonderful vegetable that's full of excellent cancer-fighting enzymes, yet it's sorely in need of a PR campaign. That's because most people steam cauliflower, which makes the kitchen smell like a stink bomb detonated. Either that or, like my dad, they eat cauliflower raw and tasteless as crudités (in his case, dipped in Russian dressing). The secret is to roast cauliflower. Not only does this avoid the sulfur smell, it also produces an unbelievably sweet flavor.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced small
1 cup finely diced celery
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups Magic Mineral Broth (page 54)
Apricot Pear Chutney (page 175), for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then spread it in an even layer on the prepared pan. Bake until the cauliflower is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and sauté until the vegetables begin to brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir until the spices have coated the vegetables. Pour in 1/2 cup of the broth to deglaze the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour 3 cups of the remaining broth into a blender, then add half of the sautéed vegetables and roasted cauliflower. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture into a soup pot and repeat the process with the remaining 2 1/2 cups broth and the remaining vegetables and cauliflower. For a thinner consistency, add another cup of broth.
  • Gently reheat the soup over low heat, then do a FASS check. You may want to add a spritz of fresh lemon juice and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Serve garnished with a dollop of Apricot Pear Chutney, which undoubtedly will take you to the land of yum!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
