Cheesy Cauliflower Soup With Roasted Cashew Nuts Recipes

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH ROASTED CASHEW NUTS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large lidded saucepan and brown the chopped cashew nuts for about 1 minute.
• Stir in the onion, garlic and potato, cover and sweat for 10 mins, shaking the pan occasionally.
• Add the cauliflower and stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 mins or until the cauliflower is tender.
• remove from heat and blend in the cheese, allow to cool slightly.
• Blend half of the mixture and then stir this through the rest of the soup so that you can actually see pieces of cauliflower and nut.
• reheat very gently without boiling so as not to toughen the cheese.
• check seasoning.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, fry the bacon pieces over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and set aside. Pour off the grease and return the pot to the stove.
• Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with the Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until the cauliflower starts turning golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture slightly, or all the way if you prefer. (Or use a regular blender; just don't fill too full.)
• In a separate saucepan or skillet, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a paste. Pour in the milk, then continue cooking until it thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the half-and-half.
• Pour the white sauce into the soup. Turn the heat to medium high and bring back to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stirring in the cheese and sour cream until the cheese is fully melted. Stir in the parsley.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve with a little extra cheese, a sprinkle of bacon and a sprinkle of parsley.

Steps:

Boil for another 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are very soft (fork goes right through them). Blend with immersion blender or blend in batches in blender. Add fat free half and half and heavy cream and stir. Add cheeses and lower to low heat, stir until melted. Add nutmeg, taste and season with salt and pepper. I would make some homemade croutons and serve the soup with two floating on top.
