cauliflower soup: the secret recipe club


I am taking part in a wonderful new blog event: the Secret Recipe Club. Each participant is assigned another blog: this month I have received Jeanette's Healthy Living, a blog that is new to me, but has quickly become a favourite. As part of the Secret Recipe Club, I have been enjoying reading Jeanette's blog, and trying out her cauliflower soup, made with two ingenious ingredients you will never guess!

This creamless cauliflower soup was the perfect first course when we had some friends over recently. (I don't usually cook dinners in courses! But the dishes I wanted to make didn't seem to all go together, so I divided them into courses: first cauliflower soup and rye bread, then pan-fried salmon with carrot & peanut salad.) I am so glad Jeanette included the roasted red pepper garnish, because it adds a great depth to the flavour of the soup. You can see Jeanette's inventive recipe on her blog; besides the more obvious ingredients, it includes a clementine peel and a ripe pear.


Jeanette's blog is an absolute gold mine for healthy eating recipes. I am so glad I found it and will be a faithful reader from now on. The Secret Recipe Club is a great way to meet new bloggers. Use the links below to see what the others tried out.

Thanks, Jeanette. I'm glad we have become virtual friends now, because I think our style of cooking is very similar and we could share a lot. I imagine this kind of cross-pollination is exactly what the Secret Recipe Club is for. :)
I am pretty intrigued with the ingredients! I love soups to warm me up on chilly/wet/damp, yucky days. Just the perfect perk to make me feel better! (Yeah, we have had nothing but those kind of days I just mentioned for so long now I have forgotten what a dry sunny warm day is like!)

Who ever thought that clementine peel in a soup would work? But it added little orange flecks and a bit of bite and bitterness which fit in really well. I hope you try it!
Thrilled to have taken part in SRC with you and discovered new blogs!

Exactly. What a clever idea, eh?
This soup looks fabulous... I love the roasted red pepper on top!
That soup looks really delicious! :) I love the idea of adding the garnish - makes it so much more colorful, and I bet it adds terrific flavor!

Yes, you are right. Without a garnish I think cauliflower soup might be a bit bland. Thanks for stopping by!
That soup sounds like something I must try. I love cauliflower but don't like the cream, so your recipe sounds perfect.
