Cream of Organic Cauliflower with Honey Soup

Warm up with this creamy comfort food. Down-to-earth flavours of cauliflower blend smoothly with a hint of sweet honey. Rocky Mountain Flatbread keeps their daily soup pots full. This soup disappears from those pots as soon as their doors are opened.

3 cups (750 mL) cauliflower
2 medium-sized yellow onions
2/3 cup (160 mL) celery (5 sticks)
4 cloves garlic
4 Tbsp (60 mL) olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
4 cups (l L) filtered water
1/2 cup (125 mL) whipping cream
3 Tbsp (45 mL) honey

Coarsely dice all vegetables. Sauté with salt and pepper in olive oil over medium heat until soft.

Add 2/3 of the water and cook until vegetables are very soft. Turn off heat and puree with a hand blender.

Add cream and honey. Bring to a boil. Add remaining water until you achieve the desired consistency. Season to taste.

To serve, garnish soup with julienned roasted red bell peppers and/or some pesto.

Makes 8 cups (2 L).
