Cauliflower Soup with Lemon Olive Oil
Spring Member Recipe | by Chef Colleen McGlynn
- 1 firm cauliflower, about 1 ½ lb
- 3 cups 2% milk (or use whole milk and thin with a little water)
- 1 medium lemon
- DaVero Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
*** 6 Servings ***
- This simple soup is quick to make and quite enjoyable. Using a Vitamix for blending gives it a light and creamy texture, but any blender will work just fine. Start by breaking the cauliflower into evenly sized florets, discarding the tougher parts of the stem.
- In a large pot, combine the cauliflower, two strips of lemon peel, and a good pinch of salt. Pour in the milk until it just covers the ingredients, and heat it over medium, keeping an eye on it to prevent the milk from boiling over. Aim for a gentle simmer. Once the cauliflower is tender enough to be pierced with a fork, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it rest at a warm temperature.
- Gently transfer the florets into the blender, pouring in just enough milk to ease the blending process. Start at a low speed to prevent any spills (a lesson learned from experience), then gracefully blend in the remaining milk and the zest of lemon peel. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture, seasoning with salt to your liking and adjusting as needed.
- Variation: For a twist, add fresh bulb fennel sections during the poaching phase and blend them harmoniously with the cauliflower. Finish with a delicate sprinkle of fennel pollen to elevate the flavor.
- Serve the soup in warm bowls and finish with a drizzle of DaVero Meyer Lemon Olive Oil. Enjoy with a springtime white wine like our Estate Fiano!
