Pick of the Week Recipe: Cauliflower Soup!
By Sandy Lawler, Manager of the Baltimore Farmers' Market & Bazaar
Cauliflowers come in an array of colors and are so easy and delicious to prepare. You can always steam and or sauté … personally, I like to slice up a head of romanesco (that’s the crazy green alien looking variety that’s a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower) into wedges, sprinkle with olive oil, and bake in a 400 degree oven until tender and slightly brown around the edges. A sprinkling of salt and delish.

As the weather cools down (finally) I’m thinking soup, and cauliflower pairs nicely with root vegetables.

Cauliflower and Parsnip Soup

Ingredients
Serves 4-6
  • 1 cauliflower washed and chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 parsnips peeled and chopped
  • scant ¼ teaspoon freshly grated Nutmeg
  • mild olive or grapeseed oil (about ½ cup)
  • Salt and Pepper

Directions:
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the cauliflower, onion, parsnips and nutmeg in 2 tablespoons of oil, on medium for 10-15 minutes. Toss frequently so that the vegetables are fragrant, not burnt and give a good grind of pepper, about ¼ teaspoon.
  2. Add water to pot so it comes about 1 inch below the vegetables, stir, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes. The vegetables should be tender and cooked through.
  3. Blend the soup either in a blender with an air gap because hot liquids will blow the top off, or with an immersion blender, adding the rest of the oil and salt to taste.
  4. Serve with a dusting of grated nutmeg, fresh pepper and/or a little swirl of cream. A fresh loaf of bread and a green salad will make a complete dinner.
