Creamy cauliflower soup

Use a good quality firm fresh cauliflower to make this delicious creamy soup! You don't have to wait for anything to soak. (The picture should be a lot whiter than this. Somehow the lighting wasn't right ...)

Method

Wash all the ingredients as necessary.

Juice the celery to give about 1+2/3 C of juice (400ml)

... in the blender

Put the celery juice into the blender jug. Add the following ingredients in turn.

Grind the black peppercorns.

Stone and chop the dates.

Juice the lemon.

Grate the nutmeg.

Add the pine nuts, miso, cinnamon and salt.

Blend all this together to make a smooth mix.

... in the processor

Skin the shallots and grate them up using the grater blade. Swap back to the S blade.

Break off the florets from the cauliflower avoiding any tough stalks. You need about 4C of the florets.

... process

Add the mixture from the blender jug.

Process everything very fine.

Serve

You can keep this soup in the fridge for a day until you need it. You can serve this soup cold or warm.

To serve warm, heat in a pan stirring occasionally until finger hot. Don't forget to warm the soup bowls.

Pour into the soup bowls and decorate with some finely chopped parsley.

Serve with some flax seed crackers.

Afterwards

Clean the blender.

Clean the green juicer.
