Broccoflower Coconut Soup w Garlic Croutons
An absolutely beautiful, delicate soup. Leave out the garlic croutons or make them of gluten free bread for a gluten free version.
Prepared by: Eerainuh
Cuisine: vegan
Recipe type: soup
Serves: 4

Total time:
You need
- 1 head of broccoflower, in florets (or cauliflower)
- 1 can of coconut milk (I used light milk)
- 1 liter of water
- 1 tbsp of veggie stock powder
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- leafs of 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- pepper
- 1 tsp of capers per person
- about 1 slice of bread per person
- 2 tbsp of oil (for the croutons)
- 2-4 tsp of garlic powder
- some sprigs of chives per bowl, chopped
To do
- cook the broccoflower florets in the water with veggie stock powder, till they are about half soft
- add the chopped onion, the coconut milk, garlic and pepper
- let gently boil till everything is soft, about 10 minutes
- when broccoflower is nice and soft, either use your stick blender to liquify, or pour in blender. A stick blender can easily do the job
- add in the thyme leafs and return to stove for another 5 to 10 minutes
- in the meantime sprinkle the both sides of the bread with garlic powder, or one side if you like less garlic
- heat the oil in a pan and cut the slice of bread in cubes
- when oil is hot, throw the bread cubes in pan and fry them, add more oil if too dry, turn them over a few times, keeping heat on medium
- soup will be ready by now, so serve and top with a part of the croutons, chopped chives and capers
Notes
Keep some of the croutons on the side, so you can have a fresh crunch half way. Unless you like soggy croutons, of course!
This soup is also awesome with a few drops of liquid smoke per bowl, and the same for Truffle oil. It just depends what you feel like - but there is a beautiful delicate balance between the brocco-(or cauli)flower and the coconut milk. Try without first, you can always add 🙂
Enjoy!
