Cauliflower, Red Lentil and Coconut Soup
Here is a great quick and easy soup recipe to warm you up on what is supposed to be the coldest weekend in Sydney in 60 years!
Cauliflowers are in season, plentiful and reasonably priced right now.
Plus they are so easy to work with – you don’t need to peel them and they are not too hard which makes them easy to chop!

This is a smooth, creamy, delicious soup with just a hint of spice…

Looks great the cauliflower soup cannot wait to cook. Have made the curried split pea & vegetable soup today and it smells fantastic, Sunday night dinner is looking good.
