Warming Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup

Warming Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup, Lay The Table

Ive been making this broccoli and cauliflower soup for my wife to take to work with her through the week and she loves it (beats a calorie-laden sloppy sandwich any day). Its very healthy, very tasty and very filling. And its also very easy to make. All you need is a head of broccoli, a cauliflower, a potato, some ginger, some garlic and a litre of stock and youre away.

Makes 1 litre of soup

Half a cauliflower, broken into florets
1 head of brocolli, broken into florets
1 large floury potato, peeled and cut into chunks
Golf ball-sized piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 litre vegetable stock
1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
1 tsp black pepper (optional)
50 ml double cream (optional)
10 toasted hazelnuts, to garnish

1. Put all the veg and stock in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20-25 mins until the veg starts to break down.

2. Allow to cool, then pour into a food processor, or use a stick blender, and liquidise.

3. Return to the pan and season with chilli and pepper, if using. Finish with cream, if using, and top with toasted hazelnuts.
