Curried Cauliflower Soup
"Saw a picture of this in the Penzey's Spices catalog. It looked so good, I just had to try it. It was a nice change for us from the usual soups and it was so easy to make. I was happy to just eat this with a salad. I know we will have this again."

A nice change from the usual creamed cauliflower soup, this was quick & easy - and much healthier! I scaled the recipe in half with no difficulty, omitted the olive oil & used Orzo. Thanx Ducky! -
Because I love curry, I wanted it to be a more intense flavor so I prepared it a little different. I steamed the cauliflower until it was crisp tender. Then removed the steamer and put the pasta in the steamer water (so the flavor of the cauliflower would not be lost from the pasta). I cooked the pasta (spaghetti rings, it's what I had)until it was al dente and poured it into a collander with a bowl to catch the liquid (I didn't want my pasta to be over done when I was ready for it. I then stir-fried the cauliflower with the olive oil and seasonings. When it was done, I poured the pasta and the liquid in the wok with the cauliflower. I only had about 1 1/4 cups of liquid when it was done and it was very flavorful. I can see how it would be a very subtle flavor with more liquid. It smelled great while it was cooking and it was delicious when it was done! I will make it again. -
I'm sorry. I couldn't eat it.

Followed the recipe exactly but for one small thing. Used one teaspoon salt as two and a half seemed too much. When the soup was ready it was a bit bland. Due to lack of salt? My fault. We added a few drops of soya sauce and that made the difference. The curry flavour blossomed. The recipe is for 4-6 servings and yes we had that, the two of us! Will make it again. Thanks for a healthy and easy recipe.
