Cauliflower and Carrot Soup
This is a really simple soup great for this time of year, hubby was asking for a soup, so heres my new invention! I had a cauliflower and carrots on hand and coriander so made a nice comforting soup. Got to love soup as you can add almost anything!
Ingredients:
- 3 chopped carrots
- one whole cauliflower chopped
- one liter of vegetable stock
- 1/2 a bunch of chopped coriander/cilantro
- 1/2 a chopped onion
- 4 cloves of chopped garlic
Method:
1. saute the onions and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes
2. then add the cauliflower and carrots and mix
add the stock and coriander and simmer for 30 minutes until very soft
3. transfer to a blender to puree and serve :-) I added some creme fraiche at the end as well
Have a wonderful start to the week everyone
Love
fall is my favorite time of year to eat soup! i love that this recipe is so simple, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteRebecca this looks great! Nice recipe I love cauliflower and like it simple like this! I've even whizzed steamed cauliflower and a touch of good ranch dressing in a food processor for a quick healthy dip!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to start the week!!
ReplyDeleteSimple, healthy and delicious - and that creme fraiche didn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteYUM! I have a soup very similar to this recipe, but with fresh ginger in it. The creme fraiche idea is great! Hope you had a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteYumm Rebecca, looks rich and filling and perfect for fall! Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove the colour and the combo...perfect to enjoy it this weather...
ReplyDeleteHow yummy! I made some carrot soup the other day too, but with lentils. Next time I shall try with cauliflowers! (I bet my husband wouldn't tell there's cauliflowers inside...a perfect way to "cheat" him to eat cauliflowers!)
ReplyDeleteGreat comfort food! I think even finicky kids can eat it :)
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I have to admit you're getting there and this soup sounds amazing. I would love to have a bowl or two. haha... I can actually feel the autumn at the other side of the globe. Time just flies, isn't it! Another Halloween will be coming soon. Hope you're enjoying your day.

A great combination of ingredients and a perfect autumn soup. ;-) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat combination ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious combination of flavors. It is definitely soup weather where I live.
ReplyDeleteRebecca~ I love the addition of coriander! It sounds like a warm fuzzy blanket in a bowl!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, that looks wonderful! A beautiful bowl of creamy goodness. I love cauliflower and carrots so this sounds delicious to me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a delicious soup, perfect for the slightly cooler weather. I love the color too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely soup...I love creamy warm fall dishes like this :)
ReplyDeleteOh Rebecca, I made this soup before with garlic and onion in it. Will make this again because I love cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...Now this is an autumn soup. Delicious. I just wish the weather here would cool down a bit so that I could make me some.
ReplyDeleteI love how just about any veggie can be turned into a good soup. This sounds like an unlikely yet still delicious flavor pairing!
ReplyDeleteSoup just goes with fall. Carrots and caulifower soup sounds wonderful and I love your addition of cilantro. Simple is what I need today.
ReplyDeleteGreat flavors in this. I've been trying to introduce more cauliflower into our house, and this looks like a great way to do it. Sounds like a yummy recipe!
