Curried Cauliflower and Apple Soup
Ingredients
For the Soup
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium brown onion roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves smashed and peeled
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large cauliflower cut into small florets
- 1 large pink lady apple peeled and roughly chopped
- 1.5 litres low salt chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey plus more to taste
- 1/3 cup thickened cream
For Curried Apples Garnish
- 1 pink lady apple
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the curry powder and cinnamon and cook a few minutes more.
- Add the cauliflower, apple, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Purée the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches.
- Stir in the honey and heavy cream. Bring the soup to a simmer, and then taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more honey. (For a sweeter soup, you'll need 2-3 tablespoons more honey). Keep the soup warm while you prepare the garnish.
- For the Curried Apples garnish, toss the diced apples with the curry powder. Ladle the soup into shallow bowls and top with a spoonful of curried apples.
