Cauliflower and coconut milk soup recipe

This unusual recipe is a great way to use cauliflower, the mild and nutty flavour pairs perfectly with creamy coconut and the light touch of Thai flavours. It's dairy-free but still impossibly creamy and ready in under an hour. See method

Method

This unusual recipe is a great way to use cauliflower, the mild and nutty flavour pairs perfectly with creamy coconut and the light touch of Thai flavours. It's dairy-free but still impossibly creamy and ready in under an hour.

  1. Heat the butter in a pan and sweat the onion without colouring for about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower florets and leaves, potato, garlic and chilli if using and cook for a further five minutes until softened. Add the fish sauce and stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the cauliflower is completely tender.
  2. Liquidise in a blender, then return to the pan. Pour in the coconut milk, season and reheat. Serve with lime wedges.
