\u00a0Winter season is soup season. So far we didn’t go much beyond our hearty Ribollita<\/a> and my husband’s all-time favorite creamy leek and potato soup. No adventures into new soup recipes yet this winter! That needed to be changed, for blog’s reason.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I love quirky ingredients or a combination of those. When I came across a cauliflower apple soup recipe, my curiosity was awakened immediately. Mild cauliflower, sweet and fruity apples: how would you make that into an exciting soup? Spices. There are many curried soups out there, but I find that the curry often runs over the flavors of the vegetables. In this soup’s case, the spices are fresh ginger and garam masala and a tiny bit of chili powder. Just enough to not drown the exquisite flavors of the cauliflower but add enough pungency to make this a lovely winter soup, while the sweetness of the apple remains intact.
\nA lovely soup that is ready in less than 30 minutes. A soup that can be made in advance and keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.
