Saw this on Bens Menu on telly yesterday.

Very easy and I will give it a go...different.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP…..EASY  3 MAIN INGREDIENTS

 

INGREDIENTS 
(SERVES 4)
1 head cauliflower, roasted florets 
750 ml chicken stock 
2 tbsp Barilla Pesto with basil & rocket 
Pepitas, to garnish
Pine nuts, to garnish 
Pinch of salt
Oil, to garnish

  

DIRECTIONS

  1. Add cauliflower and stock into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat. 
  2. Add 1Tbsp of the pesto and with a stick blender blitz until a smooth consistency.  Add another Tbsp of pesto and stir through to combine. 
  3. Serve with pine nuts and pepitas and drizzle of oil.?

BEN'S TIP: to roast the cauliflower, preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut florets from cauliflower and place onto a oven try that is lined with baking paper. Drizzle with oil and pinch of salt,  place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, allow to cool.

Abby -  That soup looks very tasty.  Another one I love to cook in the Winter is Lentil Soup. I buy the small orange lentils. Wash 2 cups  of Lentils thoroughly in a pot until the water runs clear. Fill the pot with cold water until the lentils are just covered. Slowly bring to the boil and skim off the cloudy bits. I add a teaspoon of curry powder and some Turmeric for the colour. It will slowly thicken up and keep stirring. If it gets too thick add a little hot water to tone it down. I fry up 3 onions until brown and add to the lentils when ready. I never use salt so you can add what you like.

before you serve it to Reagan

  He likes chooks swimming on his plate 

Make sure you wash the feet before adding to plate.

 

Thanks for the lentil soup recipe Hola.

I have a packet in the pantry and I will make it this winter :)

I will have to  put salt/or chicken stock in mine I think as there is no way hubby would eat something without salt in it...I can eat without sometimes but mostly I need to put it in.

 

Hola, have you always not eaten salt or did you wean yourself off it??
