Spiced Cauliflower Soup

1 hour

Serves 10

British

Starter

When I first moved away for university I took a job in a small family owned cafe in Bath. They served simple and hearty food, but the highlight of their menu was always their soups. They were an absolute favourite of the customers and when winter came around this cauliflower soup would be the big seller on the menu. This is a warming a moreish soup that is the perfect way to get through a cold day. This recipe makes a lot of soup, so it is perfect if you holding a dinner party, or if you just to make up a big batch to freeze for those cold winter afternoons.
