Method

For the curried cauliflower and apple soup

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.

  • Add the cauliflower, apple, stock, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is very tender.
