Yields1 Serving

olive or canola oil, for cooking

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, sliced

1 tsp. - 1 Tbsp. curry paste (optional)

1 large cauliflower, roughly chopped or separated into florets

1 apple, peeled and chopped (or try a pear)

1 L chicken or vegetable stock (or half stock, half orange juice)

1/4-1/2 cup half & half

salt & pepper

Red Pepper Puree (optional)

1-2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped

1/4 cup tomato juice or V-8

Heat a drizzle of oil in a largish pot and sauté the onion until soft; add the garlic and curry paste and cook for another minute or two. Add the cauliflower, apple and chicken stock, plus a little water if it needs it to barely cover the cauliflower, and bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is very tender.

Remove from heat and purée with a hand-held immersion blender, right in the pot (or do it in batches in the blender); add the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
