Curried Cauliflower Soup

This recipe is from the Jan. 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times. The combination of cauliflower with apple and curry pwd caught my attention and I decided to give it a try. And I'm glad I did. We all loved the slightly sweet - sour - spicy flavor of this soup.

Here's how I made it:

2 tsp olive oil

1 cup chopped onions

1 medium tart apple (I used Granny Smith) - peeled cored and roughly chopped

1 clove garlic - finely chopped

1/2 of a cauliflower head - chopped

2 cups veg. broth

2 tsp curry pwd

Salt & pepper to taste

Heat oil. Saute the onions for 5-7 mins on medium high. Add the apple, garlic & curry pwd. Cook 2 mins. Add the cauliflower and veg. broth. Bring to a simmer. Then cover and cook on medium heat for 20 mins. Cool another 20 mins. Blend till smooth. Reheat and season with salt & pepper.
