CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SOUP


An easy and quick one this.

Serves 4 big eaters, 3 very big eaters and 25 extremely light eaters.

Time - prep 5 minutes, cooking 30 minutes

1 x cauliflower - chopped
1 x largish onion - chopped
1 x garlic clove - crushed
2 x baking sized potatoes - diced
A hand full of split peas
Curry powder - at least a table spoon
Cumin powder - at least a table spoon (but stick some more, I would)
2 x Veg stock cubes
Boiling water

How...

Heat some oil in a big pan, on a medium heat (unless you're my dad in which case you 'give it a blast') and fry the onion and garlic until the onion begins to go translucent. Add the caulifower and the spices (I always add a bit more than the allotted 1 table spoon here) and stir for a few minutes. Just about cover with hot water from the kettle add the stock cubes and stir some more. Add the split peas, cover and simmer for half an hour or so. Allow to cool slightly in the pan and then blend with a hand blender.

Serve with a Nan bread

For some extra woo add some chilli flakes
