Creamy Cauliflower and Blue cheese soup for a Winter's day

Yesterday the weather in Cape Town was really miserable. The wind was howling, there was thunder and lightning and hail and nothing suited the family more than a delicious warm bowl of soup. So I felt like being slightly origional by not making the usual, instead, I made a creamy cauliflower and Blue cheese soup, and what a delight it was.

Here is the recipe, for you to make and enjoy :)

Creamy Cauliflower and Blue Cheese Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped.
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 500g cauliflower or broccoli, trimmed and chopped
• 2 litres chicken stock
• 125ml cream
• 150g mild blue cheese, crumbled



Ingredients



Method:

1. Cook onion until soft. Add potato and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add stock, bring to the boil and simmer uncovered for +/- 10 mins, add the cauliflower and simmer until the potato is tender and the cauliflower is cooked.
3. Blend or process the soup, until well pureed. (if the soup is a bit watery, reduce it for a while)
4. Return soup to stove, add cream and half the cheese, stir over heat until hot.
5. Divide soup amoung serving bowls, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
6. Garnish with cream and parsley.
