It feels like autumn ☔️

Tonight’s dinner - I sense the autumn and the cold days ahead of us, so why not make a classic cauliflower & potato soup?!

🍁

A bit of butter

1 cauliflower, chopped into large pieces

5-6 potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces

1 vegetable stock

150 ml. double cream

Add a bit of butter into a saucepan, bring it to heat, add the cauliflower, potatoes and stir for about 3-5 mins.

Add the stock, pour water over so it just covers the vegetables. Let it boil till it’s tender (about 15-20 mins).

Take it off the heat and blend until smooth. Add cream until you get a smooth, thick-ish texture. (If it’s too thick add a bit of water until it’s right)

Put it back on the stove to heat it up (try not to make it boil).

Voilà! Soup for dinner.

I put some chopped baby leaf spinach & pumpkin seeds on top (it also goes very well with parsley).

TIP: I made a large portion, so if you want to freeze some, don’t add cream to that - you just add it later)

All credit goes to my mormor (nan in Danish) - I believe I would’ve made her proud.

Indeed and it’s easy, tasty and doesn’t cost a fortune. win-win! It’s a good idea to add wholemeal/seed buns on the side (I just didn’t have time to bake yesterday) 🍂

Oh my! That looks so good!

That looks awesome Gurli, Can you replace the cream with anything else or does it lose consistency. trying to cut as much fat out of my diet as i can

I think you could add more cauliflower and pour some water off, before blending and use a bit of milk - and you don’t have to fry the vegs in butter, just add stock and water - it’s suppose to be a bit thick-ish, we have something in Denmark... I’m just thinking 🤔...

I had a little search apparently is possible to get a lighter version of double cream;

You can also cut out some of the potatoes as they have lots of carbs -

Just give it a go x
