Spicy Tomato Cauliflower Soup

Spicy Tomato Cauliflower Soup Originally uploaded by yellaumbrella

I adore pureed soups. This soup came out of the fact that I couldn’t stand looking at anymore cauliflower. Colleen and I bought a gigantic head of cauliflower at the farmers market. We ate it many times and it never seemed to disappear. I cooked the chopped up cauliflower in stock, added tomato paste and some Sriracha. Seasoned to taste and then pureed with my immersion blender. I blended till very smooth and seasoned again. I topped it off with a locally made Chevre from ShadowBrook Farm and some sage. It is ok cold but it is really delicious hot. My apartment is over air conditions so it nice to have a hot soup even in summer.

I have been sick and been eating tons of soup. Miso has been tasting so good to me. My relationship with miso has been rather cold since a cup of miso soup jumped out of my hand, and landed on my sisters keyboard.

But I’m sick and it’s the only thing I’m not to lazy to make. I know that diakon is traditional in miso soup so I tossed some radishes in. I liked their crunch and color.
