Cauliflower Apple Soup

      
I like to make this on one of those cold winter evenings when I didn't feel particularly inspired to hang out at dinner with friends because I just feel like curing up with a good book and having a light, but satisfying bowl of comfort food.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium to largish sized cauliflower head
  • 1/2 of a red or yellow onion
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cup of unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider or distilled white vinegar
  • 2 medium sweet apples,  peeled
  • 1 green onion or scallion
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
  • lightly salt and pepper to taste
Directions:

1. Steam the cauliflower, apples and onion in a steamer basket, or boil in unsalted water until tender.
2. Place in a high-speed blender. 
3. Sprinkle in garlic powder. 
4. Add just enough soy milk in order to get a nice smooth constancy. (That will depend  on the size of your cauliflower head. You should probably eyeball it, instead of dumping in the full 1 to 1/2 cups of soy milk.) Caution - The ingredients are hot!
3. Blend in batches. Blend until until completely smooth.  If you have a blender wand, just blend it up right in the pot.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste, top with thinly sliced green onion. 

Try this ladled over millet.  That's yummy too.
