After cooking some breaded cauliflower yesterday I had some boiled cauliflower leftovers. So today I decided to make some soup out of it. I started with a recipe I had from my mother-in-law and I tweaked it with what I had in my fridge. Here is the result:
Ingredients:- 1/3 cauliflower, slightly boiled florets
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp tomato paste or marinara sauce
- salt, pepper, thyme and paprika
- water or vegetable stock or chicken stock (I used some homemade chicken stock)
- 2 eggs
- lemon juice
- fresh parsley
Directions: Drizzle some olive oil in a pot. Saute carrots and bell pepper until soften. You may want to add some onions to the carrots and peppers, I didn't because my homemade chicken stock was cooked with onions already. Add salt, pepper, thyme and paprika. Add water or stock. Boil for about 10 minutes, then add the cauliflower and boil for another 5-10 minutes (depends if your cauliflower is already boiled or not).
In a bowl, beat eggs until thick. Whisk in lemon juice. Gradually add some of the hot soup, whisking constantly. Add the egg mixture to the soup whisking, until egg cooks and the soup slightly thickens. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy!
