While shopping yesterday I spied a nice looking cauliflower and thought roasted cauliflower soup would be just the thing for Sunday tea. Cauliflower soup brings back some strong memories. My youngest daughter detested cauliflower soup and would refuse to eat it.

It seems a friend from Melbourne had a similar idea to me and she made a large batch for the week ahead. If you would like to see it, please feel free to join the Facebook group “Cooking meals for one”.

We’ve had a few new members to the group who have brought with them some new thoughts and ideas.

Recipe Notes

You need to get some colour on the cauliflower and potato when it's in the oven to get some extra flavour.

Photographs

Cauliflower soup for tea with plenty left for later in the week. Not the greatest photograph. I shot this with my iPhone while the pot was still on the stove.

This was today’s brunch. I really enjoy a BLT, especially on sourdough bread. I bought the bread from Coles. The bacon was cooked in a hot oven for 15 minutes.

Questions and answers

Does cauliflower soup make you fart?

Yes, it does. It’s a sweet aroma with the curry added. I know farting isn’t exactly a great topic to talk about but everyone does it. I’m pretty confident this soup will keep my bedroom fragrant tonight. My only conern is that I will take leftover soup to work and who knows what will happen there. I’ll have to duck off and be by myself I think. This soup packs a powerful punch when it comes to flatus generation.

Why add the potato?

The starch from the potato helps keep the soup nice and thick and creamy. I quite often add cream to soups, but this didn’t need it. It was quite thick in the end.

Did your daughter ever learn to like cauliflower soup?

No, she’s not become a fan. My dream one day is to make her a soup she likes.

  1. We came across this recipe yesterday after purchasing an enormous, quality cauliflower for one dollar while on a roadtrip, then having a discussion about wordpress – which my companion had never heard of! I googled yummylummy for example and there you were. Serendipidious delish! Ten out of ten farts from me!

    1. Very cool. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I’ve been travelling. A soup that helps with farts is a good soup. And just like I say to patients after some intestinal disturbance, when you can fart with confidence, you’re on top of the world. Thanks for visiting charlottekatie9 😃

  2. Is it just cauliflower soup that makes you fart, or is it also cauliflower in general too? I’ve had cauliflower soup before and never had that problem 😀

    1. Cauliflower soup really seems to bloat me. Almost as much as cabbage. This soup is already having the expected effect. I need some chocolate I think.

  3. Great a post not about meat (ha ha), this is a lovely recipe and I would never have thought of adding blue cheese; what a great idea Gary. Hope you enjoyed it – maybe not the following flatulence.
