YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Life Without Diabetes leek and turmeric soup with roasted cauliflower By You Magazine - January 12, 2020 This warming leek and turmeric soup has a lovely texture to it, and the roasted cauliflower garnish really brings it to life. Chris Alack Prep time 5 minutes Cook time 20 minutes Serves 2 100g cauliflower, broken into very small florets 1 tsp olive oil 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped 1/4 tsp turmeric powder 1 medium courgette, roughly chopped 1 large leek, trimmed and thinly sliced 500ml vegetable stock (or 2 tsp Swiss Vegetable Bouillon powder mixed with 500ml water) handful fresh coriander leaves, to serve (optional) freshly ground pepper 1. Preheat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. 2. Place the cauliflower on a baking tray, toss with half the olive oil and sprinkle with half the cumin powder. Season and roast for 10 minutes, turning halfway through. 3. Meanwhile, place the onion in a nonstick saucepan with the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon water and sauté over a medium–high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. 4. Add the turmeric, courgette, leek, the remaining cumin powder and another tablespoon of water to the saucepan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly to encourage the vegetables to cook evenly – they will wilt quite a lot. 5. When nicely softened, pour in the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. 6. Remove from the heat and blitz with a hand blender until almost smooth – it is nice to keep a little texture. Season to taste and serve garnished with the roasted cauliflower florets and a little coriander, if using. We strongly advise consulting your doctor before embarking on any diet plan.
