Creamy broccoli and cauliflower soup
This broccoli and cauliflower soup is absolutely delicious. My boyfriend's favourite... this is a modification of his recipe. You can substitute the head of cauliflower for another head of broccoli if you want an all-broccoli soup.
Ingredients
Serves: 6
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium heads of broccoli
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 750ml vegetable stock
- 200ml cream
- 2 tablespoons cornflour

- Roughly chop the broccoli and cauliflower and add to pot. Saute for a couple of minutes until broccoli is bright green in colour.

- Simmer for 5-10 minutes until broccoli and cauliflower are soft and tender. Do NOT over-cook and have vegetables falling apart.
- Blend together using blender or food processor, then blend again while slowly adding cream.
