Isn’t it wonderful when simple ingredients…
… can come together and result in a dish that is creamy, full of flavor, and healthy all in one bowl. In this case it was Dorie’s
-
Creamy Cauliflower Soup sans Cream
It was very comforting with wedges of buttered toast and a small sprinkle of fried prosciutto. And all it took was 6 simple ingredients. I say it was healthy because there was no cream in the soup and only 1 TBL each of EVOO and butter. The rest of the ingredients added only flavor.
I know there are a lot of people out there who are not fond of cauliflower. Fortunately it was one of few veggies I really liked as a child so making this soup was not a big leap for me. I KNEW it would be good. It’s nice not to be disappointed.
You can find Dorie’s soup on page 68 of Around My French Table

I, on the contrary, had so little expectations that I was happily surprised. Your idea of prosciutto is wonderful! Have a great weekend

From being in this group and learning about French cooking… it is amazing how they transform simple ingredients into gourmet fare. Prosciutto is OK in my Italian book.

Yummy! I liked this one a lot, too. Maybe it was the bacon I used, but I didn’t find the cauliflower taste too overwhelming.

Very nice presentation – buttered wedges of toast and a bit of fried prosciutto sound utterly delicious with this creamy Cauliflower Soup!
Have a lovely weekend!

I just thought this soup was delicious and I’m glad you liked it also. Yes, there are many people who are not cauliflower lovers but I was surprised at how many of us actually liked this soup. It’s smooth and silky and, oh so white. I really enjoyed your pictures. Very nice.

Agreed … it was wonderfully cozy. It seems many people added bacon or some other pork garnish … I went with the mussels and it was delicious.

The poor cauliflower! Why do so many people dislike it? Buttered toast is a great idea. Very warming and homey.

Oooh, I love that you used fried prosciutto as a garnish…maybe my hubby would have eaten more had I done the same 🙂

Your prosciutto is a great addition. This soup blends so well with many toppings and flavors. Well done.

Prosciutto would have been such a nice substitution for bacon! Well next time! It looks really good!!!

Great results for such little effort, don’t you think? And it’s healthy to boot. What’s not to like?
