ZINGY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH PEAS This is a last moment quick fix soup that you can make with almost no cooking. Just figured it out one day under pressure. Its a cheats soup because it tastes awesome but can be made in 5 minutes. If you garnish it well, it would look glamorous on your dinner table. A note of caution: I like raw garlic in my food much like the Italians, but if you are not too fond of it you can sauté the garlic and add it when you blend. Ingredients (for two): Half a head of a medium sized cauliflower, cut into florets 2 cloves of garlic 1 cube of cheese (I use Amul, but it will taste really good with any smoked cheese or even a tiny blob of blue cheese) A handful of peas, boiled 1 cup milk 1/2 tsp chilli flakes Salt to taste Procedure: Simple boil the florets till tender (about 3 whistles in the pressure cooker). While it is still warm, blend it with the rest of the ingredients (except the peas) in a blender till smooth. Pour over the peas and serve. I like to serve it with a blob of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The vinegar complements the taste of raw garlic. Other suggested garnishes: Chopped fresh herbs like basil or dill or thyme Grated cheese Cream Croutons Bacon bits Zest of orange/lemon Sambal paste for the adventurous Oh and please ignore the cat :-)
