Cauliflower Chowder Soup





Yet again I'm attempting to embrace healthier living. 


Part of which is making soups to take for lunch at work. 

I've been receiving the most wonderful veg boxes from a local greengrocer, and had a few bits leftover. Off I went to Pinterest and looked up cauliflower recipes. 


INGREDIENTS
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 potato, diced
1 litre chicken stock
250ml semi-skimmed milk
1 head cauliflower, roughly chopped
2 dried bay leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS


In a large pot sprayed with oil/Fry Light slowly cook garlic, onion, carrots, potato and celery. Stirring occasionally until the onion goes transparent. This should take about 3-4 minutes. 

Stir in the cauliflower and bay leaves. Again leave to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and milk, stir well and bring to a boil. 


Reduce to a simmer and leave until the cauliflower becomes tender and the potato begins to break up. This will take roughly 15 mins. 

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve.

I cooled mine down and took to work the next day where I added a splash more milk before heating through in the microwave and topping with shredded ham hock. Crispy bacon is also suggested in the original recipe. 



Notes: I adapted this from the recipe on damndelicious.net
