Cauliflower and Curry - Perfect for a Truly International Soup

Cauliflower and Curry go so well together, add some onion for flavour and Kumara (sweet potato) to add more body.
 
This is such an excellent soup. I would serve it for a dinner party. Cheap too
 I like to use Vegeta Chicken Stock Powder, it is an excellent seasoning particularly for soups
and very useful if you haven't any homemade or bought chicken stock on hand
In Croatia, they season almost everything with it.
I brought some back from there 7 years ago and then found out luckily that you can buy here
This is a photo of my original tin. All the way from the island of Mljet,
All gone now
Oh well
Once again, I am using the Japanese Curry Paste, for the Curry part of the soup
Great flavour and it thickens slightly
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion peeled and chopped
1 medium cauliflower cut into florets
2 medium Kumara peeled and cut into chunks
3 tablespoons Vegeta Chicken Stock powder
Enough water to cover

Freshly ground black pepper
3 segments of Japanese Curry Paste 
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat
Add chopped onions and 1 tablespoon of Vegeta
Sauté till soft but not brown
Add cauliflower and Kumera
Toss
Add rest of Vegeta plus some freshly ground black pepper and let cook for a few minutes
Add water till well covered
Bring to the boil and simmer about 30 minutes
Take out some of the stock and dissolve the curry paste segments
Add to the soup
Simmer another 10 minutes

Into blender and whiz till smooth
Taste and season with freshly ground pepper
Probably wont need any salt, the Vegeta should be enough
 A Particularly tasty soup
