"This comes from the 'Soup Kitchen' book and is wonderful for the autumn. It's beautifully creamy and warming and has become one of our household's staple soups. This goes with my Spiced Pear Relish recipe - you simply put a dollop of warm relish on top when serving."

ingredients

1 whole cauliflower
¹⁄₂ ounce unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 ¹⁄₂ cups chicken broth
7 ounces dolcelatte (very creamy blue cheese)
¹⁄₂ cup heavy cream

directions

Trim the cauliflower, discarding outer stems so you retain just the florets.
Melt butter in a large pan, add the shallots and cook until transparent. Then add the garlic, thyme and cauliflower and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and white pepper, add the chicken stock, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Crumble the Dolcelatte into the soup, add the cream and then puree in a blender. Return to pan, adjust seasoning and serve with a dollop of Spiced Pear Relish on top.

I find cooking very relaxing and love to experiment. My food hero is Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall; the idea of growing your own veg and rearing your own animals in a free-range, organic way is very appealing. When not cooking I work from home for a tech company in Finland, love animals, old cars, travel and good restaurants! How I rate recipes: 5 * Recipe worked perfectly, no substitutes needed and family raved about it. 4 * Recipe worked well, a few substitutes were made to suit taste. Family loved it. 3 * Recipe worked fairly well, a few changes to technique or substitutions were needed. Family liked it. 2 * Recipe didn't work particularly well. It was edible but wouldn't cook again. 1* Recipe didn't work at all. It wasn't edible and we wouldn't cook again.
