This cauliflower and kale soup is easy peasy to make and tastes gorgeous whilst being super-virtuous. I make a big batch and freeze it in individual portions so that at lunchtimes I&#8217;m only a microwave&#8217;s ping away from a veg-packed meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Grandma, Myra, always used to serve soup in a mug which I think is so comforting, also handy for little ones to help them keep a grip on their soup. A hunk of cheese on toast to dunk is another trick to get them to tuck in if they aren&#8217;t immediately feeling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong> <strong>(makes around 8 cups)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 tablespoon olive or rapeseed oil<\/li><li>1 medium onion, finely diced &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Af-w0JM3jGo&amp;t=17s\">watch how here<\/a><\/li><li>4 cloves garlic, chopped &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SuVvRk2qT5I\">watch how here<\/a><\/li><li>Sea salt and black pepper<\/li><li>1 head of cauliflower, leaves, stems and florets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RTwoDKOq20M\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">watch how to tackle a cauli here<\/span><\/a><\/li><li>Veggie stock or water &#8211; around a pint and a half<\/li><li>A bunch of cavolo nero kale, roughly chopped or a bag of spinach<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To make<\/strong><br>1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 4-5 minutes until soft<br>2. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt then cook for a further 2 minutes. Don\u2019t allow the garlic to brown and go bitter<br>3. Add the cauliflower florets and leaves then cover with stock until the cauliflower is just covered. Put the lid on the pan and bring to the boil<br>4. Reduce to a high simmer then cook with the lid on for around 10 minutes<br>5. Stir in the greens and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.<br>6. Puree with an immersion blender or in a liquidizer, add more liquid if needed<br>7. Season with salt and pepper and serve as it is or with cheese on toast, or go fancy and barely rub a clove of garlic over toasted sourdough before drizzling it with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now buy the equipment I use in this recipe through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgem.com\/shop\/\"><strong>my shop<\/strong><\/a>.
