Creamy Cauliflower And Gruyere Soup

Ingredients

• 1 cauliflower
• salted water
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 slice brown bread
• white pepper
• 2 tsp grated Gruyere cheese

Method

1. 1 Wash cauliflower thoroughly to remove grit and insects. Simmer head-down in salted water until tender, then remove the florets.
2. 2 Simmer the outer leaves and odd bits in the cooking liquid. Pass this mixture through a sieve to create a smooth base.
3. 3 Fry the chopped onions, then add the strained cauliflower liquor, the sieved pulp, a slice of brown bread, and white pepper.
4. 4 Cook gently for 30 minutes. Remove the bread slice before serving and sprinkle with grated Gruyere cheese.
