Niloo's inspired Caulitawney Soup

Ingredients:

1/2 cauliflower

1 tin low fat coconut cream

1 tin tomatos

1/2 Tspn curry powder

1 red onion

2 Tspn grape seed or extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic

1/2 tspn turmeric

3 tspn vegetable stock

1 tspn garam masala

Direction:

1. finely chop onions and garlic, fry in olive oil;
2. add turmeric and stir through the onions and garlic until golden;
3. add curry and garam masala and stir through the mixture on medium heat so it stays soft and doesn't burn;
4. add coconut cream and tomatoes;
5. boil 1 cup of water and mix stock, then combine with rest of the soup and gently stir allowing the mixture to simmer for about 20 minutes; and
6. finely chop cauliflower and add to mixture. If you prefer the cauliflower crunchy, turn off the pot prior to chopping in the cauliflower. Leave stand to cool and serve with croutons.

Note: I served the soup with beanie burger patties and the combination was just perfect. If you are vegan or vegetarian, make sure that the stock is meat free as some 'vegetable' stocks include chicken or beef stock as a base ingredient. I use vegeta and find it to be flavoursome and meat free.
