HW Pick: Super-Easy Cauliflower Soup

It’s under 40 degrees outside and time for some soup to warm that cold body on these cold days. Our friends at the Harlem Community Farm Share sent us this quick and delicious Cauliflower Soup:1 head cauliflower
1-2 T. olive oil
3-4 T. cold water
Salt
Pepper
Panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Chop the cauliflower into small pieces; the pieces don’t need to be evenly sized. Heat up olive oil in a large saucepan. Get it really hot. Dump in the cauliflower (it will sizzle) and don’t stir for about 3-4 min. When the bottoms start to brown and carmelize (this browning is important!), quickly dump in the cold water mixed with salt and pepper. Cover with lid immediately. Cook until water has pretty much evaporated (another couple of minutes). Remove lid and finish cooking to dry out. If you want to add a bit of crunch, sprinkle in a couple tablespoons of panko bread crumbs. (Note from Laura: I finally got around to using the heirloom cauliflower, and I stole part of a recipe that my friend gave me for broccoli. It came out soooo yummy, and it was really easy!)

If you make it, let us know how it tastes?
