Cauliflower soup

      
              I am finally back to my blog after a long time. It has been a crazy summer. I took 2 big vacations this summer, first to see my family in India and then an awesome 10 days vacation in Peru. I will post about Peru some other time.
              Today, I am bringing a simple, yet healthy tasty soup recipe. It is a very simple recipe with minimal ingredients. So lets make some Cauliflower soup.

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium chopped Cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup chopped Onions 
  • 1/2 cup chopped Green Bell Peppers
  • 1 tbsp chopped Parsley
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 2 tsp Thyme leaves
  • 2-3 minced Garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt to taste
Instructions: 
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the cumin seeds. 
  • Once the cumin seeds start to crackle, add the garlic and stir it till it golden brown
  • Now add the onions and cook them till they are translucent.
  • Then add the bell peppers and mix them well
  • Now add the cauliflower florets and about 4-5 cups of water. 
  • Then add parsley, thyme, salt and pepper and mix it well
  • Let it cook until cauliflower is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Now, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree it. Take care while handling the hot mixture.
  • Return the puree to the pan and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes
  • Garnish with some parsley and serve hot
