Creamy Cauliflower Soup

I have been making a lot of soups lately with almost any ingredient that I can find, that needs to be used up. Soup for dinner is so comforting and makes for a perfect meal especially when you are alone at home and are in no mood to cook. It also fits in with my plan towards healthier eating in spite of the numerous failed attempts.

Here’s a recipe for a soup that only takes minutes to make and calls for just a handful of ingredients. The recipe involves cooking some onions, potatoes and cauliflower florets till tender and then blending everything together to get a rich and creamy soup.
Here’s how I made mine -

Ingredients:
½ onion, peeled & chopped finely
1 medium potato, peeled & chopped into small cubes
1 pack of frozen cauliflower
3 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
1 tsp ginger paste.
¾ cup milk
½- 1 tsp of nutmeg powder depending on taste
Salt & pepper to taste.
Herbs for garnishing
1 Tbsp olive oil

Method:
Heat some olive oil in a large saucepan and add the chopped onion, ginger & garlic. Sauté everything for a minute or two.

Add the potato cubes and cauliflower florets along with a little bit of water and cover & cook till tender.

Blend/Puree the mixture after cooling and return to the saucepan.

Add about ¾ cup of milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes. (You could add some more water here depending on the consistency you want for your soup. I like mine thick, rich and creamy; hence added the milk & almost no water)

Add the nutmeg powder, season with some salt and pepper, garnish with some herbs and serve hot.
