Sofa specialist, Linda Barker, got cheesy with this cauliflower creation on Celebrity Come Dine With Me

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 50g butter
  • 150g roughly chopped onion
  • 250g trimmed and sliced leeks
  • 200g cauliflower florets
  • 900ml hot chicken stock
  • 100ml double cream
  • 50g soft goat's cheese, pushed through a sieve
  • Drizzle of truffle oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • A few snipped chives, to garnish

Method: How to make cauliflower soup with goat's cheese

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add the chopped onions and sliced leeks, then cover and cook gently for 8-10 minutes without colouring, stirring occasionally.

2. Add the cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower is soft. Stir in half the cream and season to taste. Set aside.

3. When ready to serve, blend the soup until smooth then pour into a saucepan and reheat gently for 4-5 minutes until hot, stirring regularly.

4. Mix the remaining cream with goat’s cheese and a little truffle oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the creamy goat’s cheese, a sprinkling of chives and a few drops of truffle oil.

  1. This soup is GORGEOUS! I was daft enough to not remove the bloom / rind from the goats cheese so it made it hard to push through the sieve, but it was still lovely. I may do this soup as a starter for Christmas lunch.
