CAULIFLOWER, GARLIC AND TURMERIC SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Cut the top off the head of the garlic so that you can just see the tops of the cloves. Sit the garlic on a generous square of aluminium foil (shiny-side up) and drizzle a small amount of the olive oil over. Pull up the edges of the foil to form a tightly wrapped but baggy parcel and put in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool a little while you get on with the soup. Pour the rest of the oil into a wide saucepan and fry the onion gently for 10 minutes or so until softened but not browning. Add the cauliflower florets and turn in the oily onion. Add the turmeric and keep stirring, then stir in the potato. Cover and cook over a low to medium heat for about 10 minutes. Squeeze in the pulpy, sweet, baked garlic cloves (just squish the head straight into the saucepan) and then add the stock/broth. Bring to the boil, lower the heat to a simmer, then cover and cook for a further 15 minutes or so. Purée in a foodprocessor or blender or, if you like a soup with more texture, just stick a handheld blender in the pan or bash about with an old-fashioned potato masher. Add freshly chopped parsley or coriander/cilantro to the bowls as you eat.
