“Simple, flavour-packed soups are worth their weight in gold in winter. This one is great served with crusty bread†- Curtis Stone.
The ingredient of Cauliflower soup with parmesan crumbs
- 1 head cauliflower, leaves discarded, stem trimmed

- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup (80g) finely grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

The instruction how to make Cauliflower soup with parmesan crumbs
- From the cauliflower head, cut 1 cup of small florets and reserve. Coarsely chop the remaining cauliflower, including stem and core.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped cauliflower, onion and 2 teaspoon salt. Cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 mins or until onion softens. Add 5 cups (1.25L) of water and cook, covered, for 15 mins or until cauliflower is completely tender. Cool, then transfer to a blender and carefully blend until completely smooth. Season with salt. Reheat. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200C (180C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange 8 equal mounds of parmesan, about 4cm apart, on prepared tray. Use the back of a spoon to flatten mounds to even thickness, about 8cm in diameter. Bake for 6 mins or until parmesan melts and is pale golden. Cool on tray until crisp. Sprinkle with pepper. Transfer to a bowl and break into breadcrumb-sized pieces.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add reserved cauliflower florets and cook, tossing frequently, for 4 mins or until cauliflower is heavily browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
- Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with cooked florets, parsley, parmesan crumbs and lemon zest. Grind black pepper over each bowl to serve.
